The four candidates standing to win the vacant Fazakerley seat on Liverpool Council have been confirmed.
Voters in the North Liverpool ward will go to the ballot box later this month, more than three months after former councillor Lindsay Melia vacated the seat. The previous member left her position after the hotly debated budget meeting of the local authority in which she became one of a number of Labour rebels to go against the party whip.
It was announced last month that both Labour and the newly formed Liverpool Community Independent group would be standing candidates. Helen Stephens was selected as the contender for the Labour group, hoping to increase their number at the Town Hall to 61.
