THE candidates for next month’s Cheshire East Council elections have been confirmed.
Voters will head to the polls on Thursday, May 2, to decide who they want to represent them on the borough council for the next four years.
The Conservative group has had a vice-like grip on the local authority since its creation a decade ago, and the party is fielding candidates in every ward with the aim of continuing its growth agenda.
But Labour, the Liberal Democrats and the Green Party are all hoping they can pick up seats across the borough, with CEC having been rocked by a string of scandals in recent years.
And the independent group – which includes Middlewich First and is currently the third largest group on the council – could also make gains in May.
