Three candidates will contest a by-election for a vacant seat on Lichfield District Council.

The Stowe ward vacancy came about when [Conservative representative Joanne Grange resigned](//lichfieldlive.co.uk/2018/07/31/conservative-councillor-resigns-after-admitting-her-faith-in-lichfield-district-council-as-an-organisation-doing-the-best-for-residents-has-been-destroyed/) after admitting she had lost faith in the current leadership group in a row over planning policy.

The Conservatives will now have to battle it out with Labour and the Liberal Democrats in a bid to hold on to the seat.

Candidates for the Lichfield District Council Stowe ward by-election:

- Angela Lax (Conservatives)
- Donald Palmer (Labour)
- Richard Rathbone (Liberal Democrats)

The by-election will take place on September 27.
