Next month will see 17 seats on Knowsley Council up for grabs as the borough goes to the polls in May’s local elections.
The vote was postponed last year due to the pandemic, but can now go ahead with one seat in each of the borough’s 15 wards up for election.
There are also extra seats being contested in St Gabriel’s and Halewood South following the resignation of former mayoress Dot Johnson in 2020 and the death of Cllr Allan Harvey in December 2019.
Labour currently controls 15 of the 17 seats up for election this year and is the only party fielding candidates in all wards.
However, opposition groups will be hoping to take two or three seats from the ruling party and make further inroads into Labour’s overwhelming majority.
The full list of candidates appears below.
