Voters in Greater Manchester will take head to the polls to choose new councillors today as local elections take place up and down the country. The local elections allow voters to have a say on who they think should run their local public services.
Seats are up for grabs in every borough of Greater Manchester - Bury, Bolton, Oldham, Manchester, Rochdale, Salford, Stockport, Tameside, Trafford and Wigan.
Polling stations are open from 7am and close at 10pm. While some counts will get underway as soon as the stations close, others won't begin until Friday (May 6).
