VOTERS in the Howden-le-Wear ward of Wear Valley District Council go to the polls tomorrow to elect a successor to Councillor Danny Giblin, who died in August.

Liberal Democrat Richard Groves hopes to win back the seat he held from 1991 to 1995. He is contesting the ward with Labour's Kathleen Parkin.

Polling stations in Witton-le-Wear and Howden-le-Wear Community Centres and the Fir Tree Country Hotel will be open from 8am to 9pm.
