Local elections take place in 29 council areas
Local elections are taking place in 29 local authority areas on Wednesday. There were no elections when the rest of the country went to the polls in March because of boundary changes.
Nineteen councils are being merged to create seven new ones. A further 10, including Weesp and Bussum, had been due to merge but local protests saw off the changes.
