Four by-elections will be held in Lewisham next month Candidates hoping to be a councillor in Bellingham have set out what they would do if elected. A by-election will be held on Thursday, May 6, for the Bellingham ward following the death of Labour Councillor Sue Hordijenko this year. Cllr Hordijenko, who was elected in 2016 after a by-election, was described by her friends and colleagues as “warm”, “friendly” and a “true advocate for her constituents”. Lewisham Council is made up almost entirely of Labour or Labour and Co-operative councillors, with one independent. There will be six candidates from six different parties on the ballot in May for residents to choose from.
