Polling in the Ross-on-Wye North Ward for the Herefordshire Council will be postponed following the death of a candidate.

Mr Gareth Williams, who was standing for UKIP in the North Ward has died.

The other candidates standing in this Ward, Chris Bartrum - Liberal Democrat, Nigel Gibbs – Conservative and Melvin Hodges – Labour have been informed that they will automatically stand when a new date is set.

Herefordshire Council has expressed sympathy to Mr William’s family and friends at this time.
