This is a change for Chorley, as typically, the council elects one-third of councillors every year for three years.

But the new boundary changes have meant that every seat is open for the taking in this year's election.

The authority has been Labour-controlled since 2012. At the last poll in 2019, the party secured 37 seats, with the Conservatives taking the remaining 10.
