Two councillors have lost their seats on Stapleford Town Council for failing to attend meetings. At a meeting on Friday, July 29th, it was announced that two casual vacancies were now open after the ward councillors for Stapleford North and South-West were dismissed. Cllr Eileen Atherton (Cons), who also serves on Broxtowe Borough Council, will no longer be a Town Councillor for Stapleford North and Cllr Daniel Gibbs (Lab) will also lose his seat on the town council for Stapleford South-West ward. The meeting was told how the councillors had “fallen foul” of the Local Government Act and are immediately terminated. Neither councillor attended one meeting over a six-month period, which they are required to do so as part of the elected role.
