Mid Sussex county council candidates revealed

The authority is currently run by a majority Conservative administration, with all seats being contested in May’s elections.

In the Mid Sussex district, the Conservatives hold all but two of the county council seats, with one independent and one vacancy.

Incumbents are marked in bold.

Andy Petch, independent for Hassocks and Victoria, is not standing again, nor is Christine Field, deputy leader of the county council, who represents Lindfield and High Weald.

John O’Brien, who was the councillor for East Grinstead South and Ashurst Wood, stepped down for personal reasons late last year.
