THE full list of candidates for next month’s Cheshire West and Chester Council election has been confirmed.
All eyes will be on which way the electorate votes on Thursday, May 2, with Labour currently having 38 members to the Conservatives’ 35, while there are two independent members.
Labour and the Tories are putting candidates forward in every CWAC ward – while a raft of independent, Liberal Democrat and Green Party candidates are also hoping to shake-up the local authority.
Next month’s election will also be the first since CWAC’s electoral wards were changed, which could also play a part in changing the council’s make-up.
There will be five fewer councillors – 70 down from 75 – and 45 wards in total, with all but three having changed from the current wards, and one being removed.
