Next month will see voters flock to polling stations to vote for their local representatives.
Sefton Metropolitan Borough has 22 wards, with each ward being home to three councillors who are voted in by people living in the area. The total number of councillors elected to represent each area is 66, with one seat in every ward up for grabs with the exception of one ward.
The one ward in Sefton that is uncontested this year is St Oswald as no candidates have come forward, as a result, Carla Thomas will hold her seat. Thousands will gather at polling stations up and down the borough on May 5 as people cross the box for whoever they want to represent them.
