The final list of candidates standing to become Sunderland’s next councillors has been published ahead of local elections next month.
As Sunderland City Council holds its elections by ‘thirds’ for its 75 councillors, one seat is up for grabs in each council ward with 25 councillors due to be elected.
Around 130 candidates have put their names forward in the latest round of local government elections scheduled to take place on Thursday, May 4.
