Stockport voters will go to the polls next month in what looks to be another tightly-fought battle for control of the town hall.
The council is currently run by Labour despite the Lib Dems emerging as the largest group at last year’s local elections.
Labour kept hold of the reins as the Conservatives and other opposition groups refused to oust leader Coun Elise Wilson before the end of her term. As things stand Labour holds 25 of the council’s 63 seats, with the Lib Dems just ahead on 26.
