In May 1995, the Labour Party was at 55% in the national polls and in that year's local elections, Labour won in Wallasey for the first and only time.
The ward, which includes parts of New Brighton as well as Wallasey Village has remained solidly Conservative ever since with three Conservative councillors since 1999.
Now 28 years later as Wirral Council moves to all out elections, Labour holds a significant lead nationally with the party hoping to gain ground after it came within 109 votes of winning Wallasey in 2022's local elections.
