The candidates standing in the upcoming by-election at Huntingdonshire District Council have been announced.

A by-election in the St Neots Eaton ward was called after the death of Councillor Graham Welton.

Six candidates have put their names forward to stand in the election on Thursday, September 19.

They are: Barry Stephen Chapman (Independent); Nigel Philip Eaton (Conservative); Alan James Hunt (Liberal Democrat); Andrew Jeremy Seal (Green Party); Rob Simonis (Independent); Harvey Woodhouse (Labour).

Anyone who needs to register to vote must do so before the deadline on September 3.

Voters will be asked to show an accepted form of photo ID at the polling station before they will be issued with a ballot paper.

There has also been a temporary change of polling station for some voters in this by-election.

People who would normally vote in The Eatons Community Centre will instead be asked to vote in The Scout Hall, in Mill Hill Road, Eaton Ford.
