Councillor Kevin Guy, chairman of Telford Constituency Labour Party, said there had already been a lot of interest in the seat, which is at the moment held by Conservative Lucy Allan with a wafer-thin majority of 730.

Councillor Guy said the deadline for applications was Sunday, and a decision was expected the following day.

"We have had a lot of applications, and I have spoken to a number of strong applicants already," he said.
