Ryan Witchell has been elected to Bridlington Town Council following a by-election in the Bridlington North ward on Thursday, October 29.
Ryan, standing for the Conservative Party, secured 556 votes (50.82%) to claim the vacant seat.
Liberal Democrat candidate Tim Holden finished second with 442 votes (40.40%), while Green Party candidate Ian Jobson received 96 votes (8.78%).
The by-election was held following the sad passing of former councillor Cyril Marsburg, who died earlier this year.

There were 10 rejected ballot papers, all of which were classed as unmarked or wholly void for uncertainty. No ballot papers were rejected for any other reason.
In total, 1,094 valid votes were cast, with Mr Witchell securing a majority of 114 votes over his nearest challenger.
