A petition with the power to dissolve a town council has surpassed the number of signatures required for its consideration.
Created by Bingham residents, the extraordinary petition comes after months of publicly-aired issues on the town council and concern over how it is run â which have been extensively and exclusively reported by The Advertiser.
The Bingham Deserves Better petition launched on February 18 has attracted hundreds of signatures, now totalling more than 830.

Organisers of the Axe Vale Show have pledged that although this year’s event will not go ahead it will be back better than ever in 2022.
The popular event, which draws large crowds from across the region, has fallen victim to the Covid-19 pandemic. But the hard-working team of volunteers who make it happen say they are determined the show will return next year.

In a statement issued this week, show boss Simon Hodges said: “It is with great disappointment that, as chairman of the Axe Vale Show, I must communicate that the committee does not have a high enough level of confidence to make the necessary preparations and commit to the financial investments required to run this year’s Axe Vale Show.
