Swindon’s always a closely watched race between the Conservatives and Labour because the town has so consistently reflected the parties’ performances nationally.

A third of seats are up for grabs, and if the Tories lose just two then no one has a majority here.

However, the mood amongst local Conservatives is much more positive than in Labour, with much speculation of Tories making gains in the parts of the town which have voted Labour for decades.

Meanwhile on Saturday, the West’s largest council – Wiltshire – will count its results. It’s normally a very Conservative county so the question won’t really be “will the Tories win?” but “by how much?”, although there are certain corners where the race is very close.

As for the police and crime commissioner elections, we won’t know the Wiltshire results until Monday afternoon.

It is a bumper crop of elections in Gloucestershire due to some being postponed from last year due to coronavirus.

Gloucestershire County Council is currently run by the Conservatives and they need to hold on to all of their 28 seats to keep control.

Opposition parties are quietly confident that they may have gained enough seats from the Conservatives, which would mean the Tories would lose their majority.

Stroud District Council is currently run by a rainbow coalition of Labour, Green and Liberal Democrat councillors.

At the last election, the Conservatives won the most seats, but not enough to form a majority so they are hoping to make some gains this year.

The Labour Party is also hoping it can win enough seats to form a majority but has said it would happily form another coalition.

Gloucester City Council is currently run by the Conservatives but they lost their one-seat majority due to a resignation, so this is an opportunity for Labour and the Liberal Democrats to make gains.

Finally, half of the seats on Cheltenham Borough Council are up for election.

The council is currently run by the Liberal Democrats, who have a 24 seat majority.

They should emerge as the dominant force again but the Conservatives are hoping to chip away at that majority and take a few seats.

The police and crime commissioner result isn’t due until Monday afternoon.

The election is expected to be tight this year due to a large number of candidates and it is unlikely that anyone will win outright, which would see second preference votes used.

The turnout figures for the West of England mayor are in.

More than 250,000 people voted out of a potential electorate of 700,000.

That's up on 2017 when the turnout was just shy of 30%.
