Candidates have been announced for the upcoming by-election in Kenilworth.

All the major parties are putting forward a candidate for the Kenilworth Park Hill ward at Warwick District Council.

The election - which takes place on Thursday 18 September - has been called following the resignation of the Green's Lara Cron.

John Dubber - who stood at the recent Warwickshire County Council elections - is being put forward by the Liberal Democrats.

Former town councillor and Mayor of Kenilworth Alison Firth is the Green's candidate as they look to keep the seat.

Previous Conservative candidate Malcolm Graham is also standing for election, as are Nicola Jones (Labour) and Timothy Wade (Reform UK).

Cllr Cron's resignation came as she moves away from the district for family reasons.

Her exit message read: "It has been a pleasure to work with you all but I am particularly proud of the close working relationship of the local Green Party team which has supported me over the years.

"From (being a) fledgling party member, through campaigning and during my time as an elected district councillor, my colleagues have always been there to offer their wisdom and comradeship and I am really going to miss working with them on a regular basis.

"I plan to stay in touch and carry the experience with me as I take my passion for planning and politics northward."
