Labour has announced its candidate for the West Lancashire by-election.
Ashley Dalton has been chosen to represent the party following the resignation of incumbent Rosie Cooper last month. Ms Cooper, who has held the seat for 17 years, is stepping down to take the role of chair of Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust.
Ms Dalton, from Lancashire, is a mum, carer and cancer survivor. She has spent 25 years working with grassroots communities in local government and now works part-time for a Lancashire charity.
