The Liberal Democrats have held Stannington ward in a by-election to choose the successor to long-serving councillor, Vickie Priestley, who sadly died following a battle with cancer in November 2023.

NHS Cardiologist, Will Sapwell, acknowledged he had very big shoes to fill, after being elected Sheffield newest city councillor by 1,000 votes. Local Democracy Reporter, Julia Armstrong, spoke with the man after his victory in this video - which includes footage from Liberal Democrat members as they celebrated the result.
