THE Liberal Democrat Party will reveal their pick for the upcoming North Shropshire by-election on Tuesday.

Labour and the Conservatives have both announced their candidates already, with the Reform Party and the Party Party also putting candidates forward.

Speaking ahead of the reveal, Liberal Democrat group leader on Shropshire Council, Councillor David Vasmer, said he believed his party would be putting forward a 'local champion'

He said: "Liberal Democrats will be announcing their by-election candidate on Tuesday.

"We're sure we'll be selecting a true local champion who'll end the years of Conservatives taking residents for granted and fighting for better health services across the county.

"I was shocked to hear that this weekend the Conservatives made their candidate selection and rather than selecting someone local, they decided to choose an unknown Birmingham lawyer.

"People of North Shropshire deserve better.

"They deserve a true local champion who'll fight for their area and most importantly for their local health service.

"Not a Birmingham lawyer who'll continue to take people for granted on the issues that matter most."
