A PARISH council election has been postponed following the death of one of the candidates.

The postal ballot papers for that ward contest will not be delivered and a new date for the election will be announced soon. Council chief executive and returning officer Colin Moore said: "We are all saddened to hear about Mrs Goodwill's death and send our heartfelt condolences to her family at this distressing time."
