Lib Dems confirm when they'll announce North Shropshire by-election candidate
The Liberal Democrats will announce their candidate to stand in the North Shropshire Parliamentary by-election on Tuesday .
The party says it will choose a local candidate.
Its leader, Ed Davey, has visited the constituency twice since the by-election was called, following the resignation of former MP Owen Paterson.
Shropshire's Lib Dems said they are the clear challenger to the Conservatives, coming second to the Conservatives in the Local Elections for Shropshire Council in May.
Shropshire Council Councillor David Vasmer said: “Liberal Democrats will be announcing their by-election candidate on Tuesday. We’re sure we’ll be selecting a true local champion who’ll end the years of Conservatives taking residents for granted and fighting for better health services across the county.
“I was shocked to hear that this weekend the Conservatives made their candidate selection and rather than selecting someone local, they decided to choose an unknown Birmingham lawyer.
“People of North Shropshire deserve better. They deserve a true local champion who’ll fight for their area and most importantly for their local health service."
