A by-election will be taking place in South Tottenham next month following the sudden resignation of a Labour councillor.

Haringey Council has confirmed the poll in St Ann’s ward will take place on Thursday, 10th April, from 7am-10pm.

It comes after Tammy Hymas quit the council last month amid a broadside at both the Labour-run government and local authority.

The deadline to register to vote to take part in the poll is Tuesday, 25th March, at 11.59pm, while the deadline to sign up for postal voting is Wednesday 26th, at 5pm. People who wish to vote by proxy must do so by Wednesday, 2nd April, at 5pm.

Voters will need to show valid ID when they head to their local polling station.

The list of candidates is set to be confirmed next week with the deadline to submit nomination papers coming up this afternoon (Friday 14th) at 4pm.
