THE names of candidates set to fight it out to become the latest two MPs to represent Herefordshire have been announced this afternoon.

As expected the two Conservatives, Jesse Norman - who currently holds the Hereford and South Herefordshire constituency - and Bill Wiggin, the MP for North Herefordshire, are standing again.

Mr Norman will be joined by Anna Coda (Labour), Nigel Ely (UKIP), Lucy Hurds (Lib Dems) and Diana Toynbee (Green Party).

In North Herefordshire, Mr Wiggin will come up against Daisy Blench (Green Party), Jeanie Falconer (Lib Dems), Jonathan Oakton (UKIP) and Sally Prentice (Labour).

Herefordians will join the rest of the country in going to the polls on May 7.

Those standing for election to Herefordshire Council will be published tomorrow.
