The Green Party made key gains at Knowsley’s elections as Labour retained control of the council.
The ruling Labour group headed into elections this year confident of retaining control of its huge majority across Knowsley Council. With 16 of the borough’s 45 seats up for grabs, Labour retained many in its strongeholds.
Labour also made one key gain – taking Whitefield from independent John Morgan, who had defected from the party last year – although they also lost in key battlegrounds to their main local rivals, Knowsley’s Greens.
