new Councillor to be elected

The vacancy on the Town Council caused by the passing of the late Jean Mitchell will be filled by a by-election on the 5th September. this vacancy has not been very well advertised by the election office at EDDC but their spokeswoman emphatically states that the vacancy and notices asking for nominations have been posted according to election law even though there was no notice in any part of the Withycombe Raleigh ward where the vacancy has occurred. It is evidently sufficient if  notices at the Town hall and at the EDDC Hq in Sidmouth are displayed!
There are two candidates one each from the blue party and the yellows who are in partnership to govern the country from Westminster so where is the choice for the public?
