HEREFORD Liberal Democrats have chosen their candidate to defend their parliamentary seat at the next general election.

Sarah Carr was overwhelmingly endorsed as Paul Keetch's replacement at a packed meeting at Hereford Shire Hall on Saturday.

The 33-year-old said: "I am honoured and delighted to have been selected to represent this constituency.

"Paul Keetch will be a hard act to follow - He has helped put Hereford and south Herefordshire back on the map after years of Tory neglect."
