Local government, London Mayoral and Scottish Parliamentary elections on 6th May [View all]

It's that time of year when I do a thread about the upcoming local elections. This year it's as follows

https://www.electoralcommission.org.uk/who-we-are-and-what-we-do/elections-and-referendums/upcoming-elections

Local council elections in England
Local and Combined Authority Mayoral elections
Mayor of London and London Assembly elections
Police and Crime Commissioner elections in England and Wales
Welsh Parliamentary election
Scottish Parliamentary election

As always, please feel free to let us know what elections are happening in your neck of the woods and what the local issues are.

Here in Sheffield we have council and PCC elections. Expecting yet more Labour decline to be honest. In my ward the Tories are campaigning hard, although all they will achieve by that is to split the anti-Labour vote. Police and Crime Commissioner elections are generating no interest whatsoever as per usual and there are also Parish Council by-elections where I live as the "independent" group of the Parish council has had an acrimonious split.
