A by-election has been confirmed for the vacant Liverpool Council seat in Fazakerley.
Voters in the North Liverpool ward will go to the ballot box on Thursday June 30, more than three months after former councillor Lindsay Melia vacated the seat. The former member left her position after the hotly debated budget meeting of the local authority in which she became one of a number of Labour rebels to go against the party whip.
It led to the formation of the breakaway group, Liverpool Community Independents, made up of five ex-Labour councillors and three existing independent members. Liverpool Council has now confirmed that the poll will be held at the end of next month.
