The people standing for election in Andover Town Council, Test Valley Borough Council and Hampshire County Council elections have been revealed, as have the police and crime commissioner candidates.

Following the deadline closing for the nomination of candidates for the elections taking place on May 6, the statements of persons nominated have been published.

In Andover, by-elections are taking place for both the borough and town council, as well as full elections for Hampshire County Council and the police and crime commissioner.

In addition, there will be Neighbourhood Planning Referendums held for Charlton, Chilbolton, Thruxton and Upper Clatford, where residents will decide whether to adopt neighbourhood plans for use in all future decisions on construction in their respective areas.

The polls were due to take place last year, but were postponed following the outbreak of Covid. As a result, they are now due to take place on Thursday, May 6, between 7am and 10am.

One councillor has been elected in Andover unopposed, with Kevin Hughes having stood uncontested in the Downlands Ward. As a result, the town council will gain him as a Liberal Democrat member.

Meanwhile, Susan Hill has been elected unopposed for Stockbridge Parish Council.

All others will go to an election to compete against other candidates, with some wards, such as St Mary's Ward on Andover Town Council, electing more than one member in the vote.
