One week left to register to vote for North Yorks police commissioner
People in North Yorkshire have a week left to register to vote to elect a new North Yorkshire Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner.
The by-election will take place on November 25 following last month's resignation of the Conservative commissioner Philip Allott in the wake of comments he made about the murder of Sarah Everard.
The commissioner holds the county's chief constable and chief fire officer to account.
