WOULD-be Knutsford town councillors have until 4pm on Wednesday, April 3 to put themselves forward as potential candidates.
Elections are being held for all 15 seats on the town council – all existing councillors retire from the council and must stand for election if they wish to continue and a number of the current councillors will not be seeking re-election.
The election for any contested wards will take place on Thursday, May 2.
Knutsford is divided into four electoral wards – Over, Bexton, Nether and Norbury Booths.
Each ward elects three councillors, except Over which elects six.
To stand you must complete a nomination form, which you can download at knutsfordtowncouncil.gov.uk/council-elections-2019
You will need an elector from the ward you wish to stand in to propose you, and a second person to second you.
You then need to hand-deliver your form to the elections staff at Cheshire East Council’s Sandbach office by 4pm on Wednesday, April 3.
