Main article: 2021 United Kingdom local elections
The 2021 Wirral Metropolitan Borough Council election took place on 6 May 2021 to elect members of Wirral Metropolitan Borough Council in England.[11] This election was held on the same day as other local elections . The election was originally due to take place in May 2020, but was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic .[12] This delay meant those elected (excluding the by-election) would serve only a three year term.
After the election, the composition of the council was:

2020 Candidate selection [ ]
In August 2019, incumbent Labour councillor for Prenton Tony Norbury was not approved for candidacy by the Local campaign forum thus was unable to seek re-selection.[18] Former Prenton councillor Angie Davies, who lost her seat in May to the Green 's Chris Cooke, was selected as the new Labour candidate in October.[19] The Greens are fielding Harry Gorman who was selected in June.[20] [21]
Tom Usher, then youngest member of council and cabinet member for Children and Families, lost a selection contest in his Liscard Labour branch in October to Dave Brennan by 21 votes to 30.[22] This was criticised by Independent group leader, and former Labour councillor, Moira McLaughlin who perceived Usher as having been "booted out by the hard-left". Liscard labour chair Edwina Doyle dismissed this notion putting the result down to Usher being "a bit younger and less experienced [than Brennan]". In January 2020, he was selected to contest the neighboring, Conservative held, ward of Wallasey .[23]
Conservative councillor Chris Blakeley died of cancer on 15 January.[24] A casual vacancy was announced on 6 February with the seat to be filled at the upcoming election when Blakeley's term was due to end.[25] Simon Mountney, who had served alongside Blakeley as a fellow ward councillor from 2004 to 2014, was selected as the Conservative candidate in March.[26] [27] Though he was replaced by Max Booth the following January after the elections had been rescheduled.[28] Mountney was later selected to contest the West Kirby and Thurstaston ward.[29]
The Conservatives posted an appeal for candidates on Twitter on 17 February for wards in the Wallasey and Birkenhead constituencies.[30]
2021 Candidate selection [ ]
Chase Newton was selected as the Lib Dem candidate for Bromborough on 23 July 2020 succeeding Vicky Downie who stood down due to personal reasons.[31] Downie had been the party's candidate in the ward for the previous three elections.[32]
Former Labour Councillor Bill Davies resigned his seat in September with a casual vacancy announced on the 7th.[33]
Conservative councillor Geoffrey Watt died on 24 September 2020 after a short illness.[34]
Campaign [ ]
On 24 February, Leader of the Council Pat Hackett announced he was standing down as both leader and councillor for New Brighton later in the year.[35] This was, however, to be in July after the election was scheduled.[36] Hackett was succeeded as Leader of the Labour Group by his deputy Janette Williamson on 29 June 2020.[3] [37] She was voted in as Leader of the Council in a virtual meeting on 28 September.[9] Hackett later resigned his seat in September.[38]
A leaked internal Labour report released on 3 March 2020 predicted severe losses for the party at the upcoming local elections across the country.[39] Wirral, however, was one of only two authorities (the other being Burnley ) seen as a possible gain for Labour with Wirral being the only positive prediction under all models used within the report.[40]
On 13 March it was announced that all elections due to be held in May would be suspended until the following year due to the COVID-19 pandemic .[12]
An e-newsletter created by the Oxton Labour Party revealed that it and the rest of the Birkenhead constituency party were not delivering leaflets due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic .[41]
Leader of the Conservative group Ian Lewis resigned on 15 December 2020 citing internal party problems.[42] Lewis's predecessor Jeff Green was elected leader on 22 December beating controversial Greasby, Frankby and Irby councillor David Burgess-Joyce .[4]
