Three candidates will be fighting for one seat on Sandbach Town Council in next week's by-election.

The election for the vacancy in the Town ward has been called following the resignation of Independent councillor David Jack who quit at the end of January.

John Arnold is standing for Labour, Michelle Hough for the Liberal Democrats and Dave Poole is standing as an Independent.

The election will take place on Thursday April 21 and polling stations will be open from 7am to 10pm.

It is still not known whether a by-election will be held for the vacant seat on Middlewich Town Council following the recent resignation of Gareth Williams.

Mr Williams resigned on March 27 because of work commitments.

The vacancy notice for the Kinderton seat was posted on Cheshire East's website on March 31.

An election will be held if 10 electors in the ward contact the returning officer at Cheshire East Council in Sandbach requesting an election within 14 days of the date of the notice – excluding bank holidays and weekends.
