CAMPAIGNERS are hoping to convince a former MP to stand again to win back his parliamentary seat.
A petition has been set up calling on former Eastbourne MP Stephen Lloyd to stand in 2020 and has already attracted more than 270 signatures.
The petition states that Mr Lloyd, who lost his seat to Caroline Ansell at the last election by just 700 votes, has still not made up his mind whether to stand for MP in 2020.
Supporters hope the petition will show he is "wanted and still appreciated".
