Ferryhill Town Council are looking to co-opt someone to the Council to serve Ferryhill Village & Dean Bank.
A Councillor position has become vacant for Ferryhill Village & Dean Bank due to a resignation. A by-election would have been held if 10 electors from the ward request an election, however the Elections Office at Durham County Council did not receive the required number of valid requests by the deadline. This means that the Council must now co-opt a Councillor.
