We are just a few weeks away from a huge set of local elections that will have major ramifications for Merseyside and everyone who lives here.
On Thursday, May 4, thousands of people across our region will head to polling stations to decide who they want to represent them and govern their local areas.
Local elections are a vital part of the democratic process and offer a chance for people to have their say on the local issues they care about. They could also offer a key view of how things are shaping up for the General Election on the horizon.
