THE date of the by-election, called following the resignation of two Whitehill town councillors, has been set.

The two casual vacancies opened up after councillors Rigby Andrews (UKIP) and David Cooper (Cons) stepped down last month.

Residents can vote for new Deadwater and Hogmoor ward councillors on Monday, September 4.

Whitehill Town Council has 15 seats - at present there are 10 Conservative members, three Whitehill & Bordon Community Party members and the two casual vacancies.
