will not be standing at this year’s election.
Following some speculation, a spokesperson for Slough Labour told the Observer councillor Sunyia Sarfraz (Labour: Baylis and Stoke) will be standing down at May’s local election.
They said she confirmed this before Christmas and will be leaving to focus on being a new parent.
Cllr Sarfraz was on maternity leave for a few months last year and returned to her duties after November 2020.
The spokesperson added they believe a new candidate will be selected in the coming weeks.
Slough elections were meant to take place last May – but the Government decided to postpone all local elections in England until 2021 due to the coronavirus outbreak.
