Councillors Razia Daniels and Neil Sullivan have been re-selected as the Conservative candidates for Handbridge Park. The ward is up for election, alongside all other Borough Council seat in West Cheshire, in May 2019.
Today is the final day of "Free After 3" parking in Chester.
After it was introduced by the Conservatives a decade ago, the hugely popular scheme has provided free parking after 3pm in many of the city's car parks.

Upton is looking splendid in autumn colours and the berries and nuts are providing food for wildlife to help see the birds and small mammals through winter.
