A by-election will be held in Brewood in South Staffordshire following the resignation of a county councillor.

Independent councillor, Chris Large, resigned from his role due to personal reasons following a close family bereavement.

Chris said:

> “Representing your community is a great honour and needs significant time and energy. Following the loss of a close family member and continuing health issues, I’m no longer able to give the role what it needs so I have taken the difficult decision to resign as county councillor for Brewood. I wish my successor every success.”

Details of the by-election will be published in due course.
