After many months of anticipation since Sir John Stanley, Tonbridge & Malling's excellent MP for almost 40 years, announced that he would not be standing in the next General Election, the selection process for Sir John's successor has begun.
Earlier this evening, notification was sent to candidates on the Parliamentary List asking for applications by 25th September. The full selection process will then begin in earnest.
In just eight week's a candidate will have been chosen and will begin the considerable task of trying to follow in Sir John's highly respected and esteemed footsteps.
Good luck to all!
