Voters are set to decide which political party will run South Gloucestershire Council for the next four years in an upcoming local election. The results will affect a huge range of issues in South Gloucestershire, including new housing developments, bin collections and bus services.
All seats are up for grabs across the 28 wards in the district in the upcoming election on Thursday, May 4, where the Conservatives are fighting to keep control to run the council. Local elections are also being held on the same day in many other parts of England.
The Conservatives have been in power for 16 years in South Gloucestershire and are defending a slender majority of just two seats. On a national level the party has recently suffered a huge drop in opinion polls, which could affect how voters decide which party they choose.
