The final list of candidates standing to become South Tyneside’s next councillors has been published ahead of local elections next month.
Around 70 candidates have put their names forward in the latest round of local government elections scheduled to take place on Thursday, May 4.
As South Tyneside Council holds its elections by ‘thirds’ for its 54 councillors, one seat is up for grabs in each council ward with 18 councillors due to be elected.
