Polling stations have opened for City of York Council elections

Polls have opened in the City of York Council elections.
Polling stations are open between 7am and 10pm on Thursday (1 May).
The elections are held on a four year cycle and the count, which takes place from 10am Friday 3 May at Energise, will see local councillors, and parish councillors announced.
Final results are due around 6pm.
York is a three-way marginal, and was previously run by a Conservative-Lib Dem coalition.
It was also unusual in the high number of independents. By the end of the last council session there were nine.
