ONE of next week’s elections has been postponed following the death of a sitting councillor and candidate.
Cherwell District Council announced yesterday that the election for the Bicester West Ward, originally due to be held on Thursday, will be held instead on Thursday, June 21.
Councillor Jolanta Lis, who held the seat and was planning to contest it next week, passed away suddenly on Friday, April 13.
Any new candidates who would like to stand for that election can submit a nominating form at cherwell.gov.uk/elections
