The community has been without representation on the council for nine months following the arrest of a council member on multiple sexual offense charges. This absence has raised concerns within the party, which is worried about the lack of a voice for their constituents during this period. Members of the community feel disenfranchised and are calling for immediate action to fill the vacancy and ensure their issues and needs are addressed in the council. The prolonged gap in representation highlights the pressing need for a more rapid and efficient process in replacing council members who are unable to fulfil their duties due to legal or other serious issues. As the situation drags on, pressure mounts on the party and council to restore full representation and maintain public trust in the governance system.
