THE names of candidates for the Littledown and Iford by-election in Bournemouth have been published.

David Norman Hughes of the UK Independence Party, Peter David Pull of the Liberal Democrats, Conservative Gill Seymour and Labour candidate Debbie Lynn Sharman will battle it out on Thursday November 15.

Polling stations will be open at four locations from 7am until 10pm.

The four polling stations are the Terrace Room at the Littledown Centre, Chaseside, Swanmore Gardens Pavilion in Swanmore Road, Beaufort Community Centre in Beaufort Road and Avonbourne College in Harewood Avenue.

The vacancy arose after Nick King resigned as a ward councillor to stand in the election for Dorset’s Crime Commissioner.
