Last year, Labour lost overall control and the results of this vote will again have a significant impact on the running of the local authority. A new leader has been elected, as former leader Councillor llr Ian Moran did not stand for re-election.
Local elections took place for more than 200 local authorities across the UK, including all 33 London boroughs and 34 metropolitan boroughs in England. In Greater Manchester seats were available in the region's 10 councils.
