West Sussex County Council election candidates in Mid Sussex revealed

Voters will head to the polls on Thursday May 6.

The majority of incumbents are standing again apart from Andrew Lea (Lindfield and High Weald) and Heidi Brunsdon (Imberdown) who were both kicked out of the Conservative group in 2019 for not supporting then leader Louise Goldsmith during a vote of no confidence.
