THE co-option of another councillor is on the agenda for an emergency Whitchurch Town Council meeting for Thursday.

The meeting, to be held in the Edward German room in the Civic Centre on Thursday, June 30, will discuss presentations from prospective new councillors before a vote to decide who will be accepted as a councillor.

Presentations will be given in public session before a vote among councillors to choose the next member of the council.

A spokesman said: "(We will) consider and determine applications for current vacancies from individuals meeting the criteria to serve on Whitchurch Town Council."

The meeting will start at 7.15pm.

Meanwhile, there will be two items heard in private session,a way from public and press.

Councillors will discuss a personnel matter, but will also agree on the proposed grants to be award following scrutiny by the finance advisory group on Friday.

Awarding of grants has traditionally been discussed and confirmed in public session but for the emergency meeting, will be held in private.
