Is there to be a Luton Council by-election?

I’ve just noticed a curious thing. The Luton Borough Council website has Labour councillor for Saints ward, Morel Benard, down as having retired from the Council last Monday. As a fellow member of the Council this is news to me. I certainly haven’t had any official notice of her stepping down.

I wonder what is going on?

The relevant web page is here.
