THE Liberal Democrats have unveiled their candidate for a by-election at Lichfield City Council.

The vote in the Stowe ward is expected to take place on 13th February following the resignation of Scott Hollingsworth.

Morag Maclean, a former nurse and NHS manager, will be the candidate for the Lib Dems.

The Lichfield resident said:

> “My interest in politics is rooted in my lifelong desire to support individuals at times of need and to contribute to seeing my local community continue to thrive and be a place we can be proud to call home.”

Cllr Paul McDermott, Lib Dem group leader at the city council, said:

> “We are excited to welcome Morag who brings so much experience to the role – and we hope that Stowe residents will recognise her abilities and her passion to help others in her community.”

Residents in the Stowe ward area can register for a postal vote until 29th January [online](https://www.gov.uk/apply-postal-vote?ref=lichfieldlive.co.uk), by emailing [elections@lichfielddc.gov.uk](mailto:elections@lichfielddc.gov.uk) or calling 01543 308125.

Lib Dem Stowe ward representative Cllr Hugh Ashton said:

> “Postal voting will probably be the easiest way to vote for many people, especially if the weather is bad.  
>  
> “Morag will bring new perspectives to the city council and I am looking forward to working with her as a councillor. “
