Lucy Atkinson and Sam Armstrong, who both represented the University and Scotforth Rural ward, have resigned their seats.

Both were elected to the city council in the 2015 district elections.

A notice of casual vacancy has been posted on the council’s website here and the vacancies will be filled by a by-election on a date to be announced in due course.

Former Harrogate Grammar School student Lucy Atkinson became the youngest elected councillor in the UK for Lancaster City at 18.
