Polling station change announced in Tring ahead of this week's by-election

Voters in Tring will head to the polls on a bumper by-election day across the country.

Candidates from four parties are contesting a Tring West and Rural ward by-election on Thursday, February 15, following a vacancy on Dacorum Borough Council.

Thirty-five miles away in Wellingborough, Northamptonshire, voters will elect a new MP after constituents chose to remove Peter Bone from office in a recall petition.

Mr Bone, a former Conservative MP, was suspended after Parliament’s Independent Expert Panel found he broke sexual misconduct rules by indecently exposing himself to a staffer during an overseas trip.

In Kingswood, near Bristol, Chris Skidmore’s resignation earlier in 2024 triggered another Parliamentary by-election.

Another former Conservative MP, Mr Skidmore resigned “in protest at the government’s decision to prioritise and politicise new oil and gas licences above a sensible investment plan for the future”.
