Three candidates have been announced for the Ross Town Council by-election, which is due to take place on Thursday, September 7th.

A position became vacant on the Town Council for the East Ward, after a Lib Dem Councillor, Derek Bedford, stepped down in May, due to ill health.

The candidates standing are: Robert Gibbs (Conservative and Unionist Party); Bob Hendrie (Liberal Democrats); Melvin Hodges (Labour Party).
