Windsor's most youthful council cabinet member is going home to Leamington - as a parliamentary candidate.

Cllr Jack Rankin, 26, who represents Castle Without for the Conservatives on the Royal Borough has stepped from his cabinet position as member for economic development, property and communications and plans to stand as a parliamentary candidate for Warwick and Leamington ahead of the next General Election.

He moved to Windsor from Leamington - the town where he met his wife - in 2014 and was elected to the Royal Borough in 2015.

Leamington is very much a marginal constituency - one of those that could decide which party wins power nationally.

Cox Green councillor Ross McWilliams, currently a principal member for housing, has taken over as cabinet member for economic development, property and communications on the Royal Borough.
