By-Election Likely After Resignation Of Harborough Councillor
Written by HFM News on 28th June 2022
A by-election is likely to be held in Market Harborough following the resignation of a councillor.
Liberal Democrat Dominic Fosker has quit his seat in Logan ward after moving to Surrey.
It leaves a vacancy for a councillor and if two electors make a request in writing to Harborough District Council, an election will be held.
Mr Fosker initially rejected calls to step-down last week, saying he could continue to carry out the role remotely until next year’s local elections.
That prompted the ruling Conservative group to put leaflets through doors urging residents in Logan ward to sign a petition urging him to go.
Mr Fosker told HFM he was subjected of an aggressive campaign to make him quit, which caused a great deal of stress to him and his family.
Leader of the Conservative group, Cllr Phil King, rejects that:
