A total of 337 candidates are fighting for 110 seats in the council's soon to be abolished district and county electoral system.

Thursday's poll will elect a group of councillors who will oversee the change from a two-tier system to a unitary authority in 2023.

The council has been controlled by the Conservatives since 2009 with the Liberal Democrats in second place.

As well as candidates from established parties, 20 independents are hoping to be elected.
