In just under eight weeks, candidate nominations for the local government elections open, and three current Stratford District Councillors have already confirmed they will seek re-election.
Councillors Grant Boyde, John Sandford and Gloria Webby have all contacted the Stratford Press to say they will be standing in this year's elections.
Grant Boyde, who is in his first term as a rural councillor, says he is committed to representing his community at the Council table for more years to come.
He says he believes there is plenty of "unfinished business" at Council he wants to continue working on over the next three years.
