The political map of Wales' councils after the 2017 elections was dominated by a colour we don't normally associate with political maps: the grey of "no overall control". There were 10 authorities out of the 22 in Wales where no one party had enough seats to govern alone.
Of those councils, Labour was the leading group, three became Independent-run and one each were led by for Plaid Cymru and Conservative.
On May 5, council elections are being held for all 22 council authorities in Wales with 1,234 seats up for grabs, down from 1,254 five years ago. This election, some boundaries are changing which will could mean more or fewer councillors elected in your ward than previously, and it could shake up the political map too.
