It follows the recent resignation by Charlie Pitt-Miller, who was injured in a fall while abroad.

Ms Pitt-Miller was the only Green councillor elected to the authority in the borough polls in May when she polled 299 votes.

Her successor will be chosen in a by-election on Thursday November 2 if the seat is contested.

The person elected will represent Asfordby ward alongside Councillor Steven Carter.
