If the returning officer does not receive ten written requests from elector’s in the Wepre Ward, within fourteen days, thats fourteen days from the 5th of September, not including Saturdays and Sundays, (we make that the 25th September you may want to check though!) then the council will CO -OPT a suitable person to the vacant seat, basically choose someone who ‘fits the bill’.
