Councillors Anne Rindl and Joanna Maestas, both Liberal Democrat, relinquished their roles as representatives of Park and Oxhey wards respectively just a week after Labour’s Leggatts ward councillor Anne Joynes, who was also a county councillor, announced she was stepping down from her role.
The nominated candidates for each ward are as follows.
Leggatts: Camilla Khawaja (Conservative), Su Murray (Green), Richard Smith (Labour), Ian Stotesbury (Liberal Democrat)
Oxhey: Richard Bell (Cons), Maggie Parker (Lib Dem), Sue Sleeman (Lab)
Park: David Fallon (Cons), Peter Jeffree (Lib Dem), Junior Sesay (Lab)
The by-elections tie in with the Hertfordshire County Council elections, which happen on the same day.
