Candidates for the North Isles by-election have been confirmed following the deadline for nominations.

Now five candidates have confirmed they will stand for the remaining seat.

They are: Gary Cleaver; Douglas Stewart; Sonia Robertson; Robert Thomson and Marie Williamson.

All are standing as independents. 

Polling will take place between 7am-10pm on Thursday 4th August.

The successful candidate will join current North Isles councillors Ryan Thomson and Duncan Anderson.
