This year, voters in each Greater Manchester borough will be choosing at least one councillor in each ward – but there are 'all out' elections in Bury and Rochdale with all seats up for grabs. Labour currently runs nine councils in the city-region - although no party has a majority in Stockport - while the Conservatives are in power at Bolton council.
