Charles Shaw, who lives in Carholme Road, Lincoln, was chosen by the Liberal Democrats to replace the popular Ray.

"I worked with Ray and he was such a nice and hardworking man," he said.

"It's always a difficult situation when we lose a great councillor who cares for his local community.

"I am passionate about the development of Nettleham and Saxilby, just as Ray was."

There will also be the appointment of a new Nettleham representative for West Lindsey District Council. 

Guy Grainger, from Market Rasen, is set to run for the Liberal Democrat Party. 

Giles McNeil, from Nettleham, is the Conservative Party candidate, while Howard Thompson, from Claxby, will run for the UK Independence Party.
