It’s important to note that in May 2018 all 99 council seats in Leeds will be up for re-selection. The snap General Election slowed down the initial candidate selection process but it’s well on its way to completion now and The Labour Party will be putting up 3 councillors in each of the 33 wards, that includes Adel & Wharfedale.
