POLLS are now open in the Shetland West council by-election.

Polling stations are open until 10pm, with votes due to be counted at Lerwick Town Hall on Friday morning.

Three candidates are in the running – the Greens’ Debra Nicolson, independent Mark Robinson and the SNP’s Zara Pennington.

The by-election was triggered by the resignation of John Leask.

Shetland News will be reporting live from the count on Friday morning.
