A VACANCY has become available on Cherwell District Council in the Adderbury, Bloxham and Bodicote ward.

Nigel Randall, who was re-elected as a Conservative councillor in May, has stepped down due to personal reasons.

The district council has published a notice of vacancy, and there will be an election if two people request that the vacancy is filled with one.

If that is the case a date for an election will be fixed by the council's returning officer.
