A second Teignmouth Town Councillor has resigned in less than a month. Deputy Mayor Chloe Myers is the latest departure from the Town Council following the recent resignation of Steve Walsh.

Chloe said her resignation was ‘on good terms’ and that she hopes to continue supporting the town council.

At last night’s Town Council meeting, Teignmouth mayor, councillor Cate Williams, said she wished to publicly thank both councillors Myers and Walsh for their service to the council.

Teignmouth Town Council published a notice of vacancy on Monday (January 20), which gives the electors of Teignmouth 14 days to demand a by-election. If ten people do not request an election, the council will advertise for people willing to be co-opted to the vacant councillor role.
