A by-election date for Weston Town Council is set for Thursday.
Hoping to get a tick on the ballot paper is Bournville girl, Leanne Hart. She is hoping to represent Weston Central ward as an independent.
Currently two Lib Dem councillors occupy the ward, leaving a third seat up for grabs on December 16.
The by-election was triggered after the resignation of Lib Dem councillor Ella Sayce.
Leanne is a Westonian who was born in the old general hospital and grew up at RAF Locking, where her father was stationed. She is now the manager of a local business.
Leanne said: "I have seen so much change in Weston and what I find uplifting is how much the people of this town wants to improve the area.
"The future of Weston is something I want to be a part of.
"I want to be your voice in the town council."
