The candidates seeking election to Oxford City Council in next month's Holywell by-election have been announced today.
The by-election has been called after 25-year-old Liberal Democrat Richard Huzzey confirmed he was to take up a research post at Yale University in Connecticut, America, in the autumn.
He announced he was quitting soon after the elections on May 1 to allow the by-election to be held on June 12 before students - who make up a large percentage of the ward - disappear for the summer.
Former Liberal Democrat-turned-Conservative Paul Sargent, who lost his seat in Carfax on May 1, is hoping to make a swift comeback.
The full list of candidates is: * Sarah Hutchinson (Labour) * Mark Mills (Liberal Democrat) * Paul Sargent (Conservative) * Chip Sherwood (Green)
