POLITICAL parties have been announcing their candidates for the upcoming Bromsgrove South by-election which will take place on October 30.
The vote is being held after Reform UK’s Gaynor Jean-Louis resigned due to ill health. She was elected to the authority at the Worcestershire County Council elections in May.
The Lib Dems have chosen Sam Ammar, who came second in the WCC poll in May, finishing just 89 votes behind Ms Jean-Louis.
Ms Ammar, who lives in Bromsgrove, said: “Since May I have continued to work for the residents of the area against the plans to build houses on our green belt in Stoke Prior and Aston Fields, working with my Lib Dem colleagues against that disastrous A38 BREP scheme and securing a new playground upgrade in Charford.
“I am out listening and engaging with local residents, I want to hear your concerns, I want to champion your concerns and I want to help solve your concerns.”
Deputy Lib Dem group leader at Worcestershire County Council, Coun Josh Robinson added: “Sam is a real community champion – since being elected as a district councillor she has worked tirelessly for the people of Bromsgrove.
“The resident of Bromsgrove South deserve a hard-working local champion to be fighting for them everyday and it is clear Sam is the only candidate who has the proven track record and local connections to do this.’”
