A by-election is to be held following the resignation of Horsham MP John Milne from his role on West Sussex County Council.

Mr Milne announced his resignation last week from his position as county councillor for the Horsham Riverside Division.

He had continued in his county council role after being elected to parliament in July last year but said that he would step down at the next West Sussex County Council elections which were due to take place on May 1 this year.

But the elections have been now been deferred because of the Government’s recently announced proposals for local government reorganisation.
