Babergh and Mid Suffolk District Councils have announced the names of those standing in the local council elections on May 4.

Nick Gowrley, the former leader of Mid Suffolk Council, will also be standing in Claydon in Barham.

In Haughley, Stowupland and Wetherden, two of the three candidates competing for the pair of seats are Green Party councillors, meaning at least one Green will represent the Mid Suffolk ward.

Voting takes place on May 4 across the district - and for the first time people who go to polling stations will have to show photographic identification before being given ballot papers.
