Simon Ring said he will be stepping down as a Norfolk county councillor in May before standing in a resulting by-election, and has urged his colleagues to do the same.

Mr Ring, an independent politician who represents the Freebridge Lynn ward and also serves as the deputy leader of West Norfolk Council, announced his decision on social media after elections across Norfolk were delayed by the government last week.
