Voters across Knowsley are going to the polls.
A Labour stronghold once completely dominated by Labour councillors, Knowsley Council's ruling Labour group has lost key seats in recent years.
The Green Party is Knowsley's official opposition, currently holding five seats and the borough also has five independent councillors in the Halewood and Kirkby areas. Liberal democrats hold three seats in the Prescot area.
16 of the council's 45 seats are up for election today, with half of those areas seeing a two party race between Labour and the Greens.
We will have reporters stations at Knowsley's count to see all the action as it unfolds.
