LABOUR will not stand a candidate against the independent Councillor Jan Brown in Watford's Nascot Ward.

Chairman of Watford Labour Party Mike Jackson issued a statement supporting Councillor Brown's bid for re-election in May.

It praised her "brave and principled stand against the extreme policies of the Conservative Party".

He said: "The overwhelming Labour Party view is that they want Jan Brown to have a clear run against right wing extremism in the Tory party."
