Grant Shapps tweeted the news roughly 15 minutes ago.  It isn't up on the Party website as I write.  Flick Drummond will be taking on Mike Hancock (I presume) for the second time at the next election.  Hancock beat her by 5,200, but a lot has happened since then.  ConservativeHome wishes her the best of luck.

Shapps has also tweeted that James Davies has been selected to contest the Vale of Glamorgan, in which Labour's Chris Ruane had a majority of 2,509 last time round.  We send him our congratulations to him too.
