Local election candidates announced

The Wiltshire Council elections in Westbury are going to be hotly contested with 14 candidates for the four seats.

Candidates are being fielded by the Labour, Conservative, LibDem, Green and The For Britain Movement Parties with one Independent.

But the elections for Westbury Town Council will be uncontested as there are less candidates than seats – pending confirmation from the Wiltshire Council elections team.

The town council will be looking to co-opt three vacancies – one in the Westbury West Ward and two in the Westbury North Ward.
