There are now three vacancies for councillors at Bude-Stratton Town Council.

The latest vacancy, in the Bude ward, comes after the resignation of Cllr Jamie Wright.

It comes nearly a week after it was announced by the town council that there were two vacancies in the Stratton Ward, after the resignations of Martin Dorey and Paul Tilzey.

In a statement, a spokesperson for Bude-Stratton Town Council said: "Due to the resignation of Jamie Wright, a vacancy has now arisen in the Office of Councillor for the Bude Ward of Bude-Stratton Town Council.
