It's that time of the year when I do a thread about the local elections that are due. This year it's local elections in a lot of places, a few mayoral elections in places like Watford and Tower Hamlets, and locally to me there are elections for the mayor of the Sheffield City region due. In certain councils, there will be a trial system where photo ID will also be required to vote. These councils are: Swindon, Gosport, Woking, Bromley, and Watford.

Round where I live, the main things of note are in South Yorkshire. Will voters punish Labour run Sheffield City Council for their disastrous PFI dealings with Amey? Also there is the Sheffield region mayoral election, still a dogs breakfast of a proposal, but I would expect Labour's Dan Jarvis (who was something of a rising star among Labour MP's before Jeremy Corbyn became leader) to win at a canter.
Anything happening with local government and elections in your part of Britain?
