The ones to watch in Trafford in next week’s local election

Trafford’s Labour-led council is set for a shake up next week. With just over a week to go until Trafford heads to the polls, with a third of the council’s seats up for grabs again, here’s a run-down of the big names, familiar faces and hotly-contested seats to look out for on Thursday May 5.

The Greens held on to their Altrincham seat with former group leader Geraldine Coggins and came ever closer to gaining a seat in Tory-strong hold Hale Central.
In just a week’s time, the borough, like the rest of Greater Manchester, is going back to the polls with a third of seats on the line again.
The Greens, alongside Labour and the Lib Dems, are hoping they’ll be able to challenge the Conservatives in Hale Central and Hale Barns once again this year.
