Huntingdonshire District Council held elections in May

A newly elected Reform UK councillor has resigned, which will likely trigger a by-election.

Tony Nelson was elected to Huntingdonshire District Council to represent the St Neots Eynesbury ward in May's local elections, as Reform UK became the third largest party on the authority.

The council said he resigned on Tuesday and a "notice of vacancy" had been published on its website.

It is understood that Nelson resigned for personal reasons.
