Thousands of people headed to the ballot boxes yesterday for this year’s local elections across Bury & Rochdale. 

The elections will decide who runs services such as social care, bin collections, roads, schools, and planning. 

Both Bury and Rochdale councils are currently led by Labour, with a majority of 23 and 16 respectively.  

This year, sees the elections go ‘all out’, meaning all seats are up for grabs due to small boundary changes in a number of wards.  

Votes will be counted throughout the afternoon on Friday with declarations beginning in Rochdale at around 3pm, with Bury expected to declare results from around 5pm.  

Our team will be across all the counts, and you can follow the latest in our live blog below:
