Eton Park Ward By-Election Suspended

East Staffordshire Borough Council has announced that The Returning Officer has taken the decision to suspend the Eton Park Ward By-Election with immediate effect.

New national guidance issued for Returning Officers on the evening of 18th March confirmed that it would be both reasonable and consistent with the national position for a Returning Officer to suspend any poll.

The Council will be working hard to ensure that electors are aware that the by-election, due to take place on Thursday 26th March, will not go ahead next week.

The election will take place on a date which will be confirmed when appropriate.
