A NEW councillor has been elected to sit on Whitchurch Town Council following a by-election.
Steven Nielson was voted in by residents on February 27, winning the election with 334 votes. Mr Nielson beat fellow candidate Maurice Clifford Berridge who won 189 votes.
The seat became vacant following the sudden resignation of Allan Vaughn last December. He was the fourth councillor to resign in two months.
