By-election date for Storrington set

A date has been set for a West Sussex County Council by-election.

Voters in the Storrington division will go to the polls on Thursday, September 26 to elect a new County Councillor.

The by-election has been caused by the death last month of Conservative councillor Frank Wilkinson, who had represented the division since 1997.

Nominations for the vacancy will close at noon on Friday, August 30 and a list of candidates will be published on Tuesday, September 3.
