There are a total of 15 seats on the Council, and this mid-term by-election was triggered by members of the public after a total of six councillor resignations during 2020. For the months that followed, Wincanton Town Council operated at 1/3 strength but with this election all the seats are filled again.
Congratulations to all the candidates who were elected! Those who weren't, please keep an eye out for vacancies in the future. Councillors are volunteers and so there are a great many reasons why they may choose to step down along the way to make room for others who are able and willing to represent the community. Wincanton will need more people who care.
