Two Liberal Democrat Borough Councillors in Tunbridge Wells have resigned and are leaving the council.
Tara Matthews, who was elected to Park Ward last year, is departing.
Also leaving the borough council is Peter Lidstone, who is currently Walking and Cycling Champion for the council. He currently represents St John's Ward.
Tara Matthews (pictured below) is a full time Liberal Democrat party worker as she is also Head of Office for the Liberal Democrat MP for Tunbridge Wells, Mike Martin. She is also coordinating the Liberal Democrat's County Council election campaign.
The deadline to submit nominations for the two wards is in less than two weeks on April 2nd.
The Borough vote would coincide with the Kent County Council elections on May 1st.
Even without the two councillors, the Lib Dems still have a majority on the council. The Lib Dems now have 20 councillors to the combined opposition of 17 councillors.
Details have been revealed on how Tonbridge town centre might look when a replacement leisure centre, 122 new homes and a new doctor's surgery are built.
A consultation on whether to have a new Town Council for Tonbridge closes soon, with supporters arguing that it would enable local people to create the best outcomes for the town.
