Candidates have been confirmed for an upcoming Ashfield District Council by-election, with a care assistant and a local campaigner among those taking part. A vote will be held on Wednesday (November 23), electing someone to represent Hucknall Central at Ashfield District Council, following the death of former councillor Jim Bladgen.
The local Conservatives say they will be announcing their candidate soon, but the Labour Party and the Ashfield Independents have both selected candidates. For the Ashfield Independents, Nick Parvin, a care assistant who lives in Hucknall and who is studying for a Master's Degree, will be running for office.
Mr Parvin said: "I'd like to thank members for putting their faith in me. Jim Blagden was a hugely popular councillor who will be a hard act to follow."
