HARTLEPOOL, ENGLAND - APRIL 27: Children ride their bikes past a wall mural of the working class cartoon character Andy Capp, created by local cartoonist Reg Smythe, in the Headland area of Hartlepool on April 27, 2022 in Hartlepool, England. A third of the Hartlepool Borough Council's seats are in play on May 5, which could upend the current coalition of Tories and independents that has governed since Labour lost control in 2019. The council is returning to an "election by thirds" system following last year's whole-council contest, which was prompted by changes to the borough's electoral boundaries.
