Wirral Council faces a knife-edge set of local elections which could lead to major changes in how the borough is run.
Wirral's election will be the most tightly contested in our region. Labour is the largest party, but is well short of a majority. On a bad night for the party, it could lose its leadership of the council.
On the other hand, if the ‘Partygate’ scandal hits the Tories in the vote, Labour could hope to make big strides towards regaining its majority. There are big battles to look out for in Birkenhead and Seacombe, where the Greens are looking to move through some of Labour’s heartlands.
