Leading Conservative councillor Richard Marshall resigned from the Worfield seat last month.
Now Shropshire Council has announced the key dates running up to a possible by-election on September 7. There will need to be at least two candidates for a contested election to be held and for ballot papers to be issued.
The sudden and unexpected resignation of Richard Marshall as councillor for Worfield and portfolio holder for Highways and Regulatory Services left the Tory authority with a gap in one of its most important departments. It means he is now in charge of one of the council’s biggest and most contentious projects – Shrewsbury’s North West Relief Road.
Mr Marshall’s previous portfolio had included highways and regulatory Services. Regulatory services include planning responsibilities, which has now been moved to a separate brief – taken on by Oswestry East councillor Chris Schofield, who steps up from a position as a deputy cabinet member under the title cabinet member for planning and regulatory services.
