CONSERVATIVES have a four-seat advantage in Rossendale and are planning to retain their control on May 5.
Labour is six seats away from tipping the balance and have recently welcomed several new faces to the fold, including former county councillor Sean Serridge.
But the Conservatives have secured all of Rossendale’s county council seats in recent years and will not be removed without a fight.
Depending on results elsewhere, it could end up with Liberal Democrats or Whitworth’s veteran Community First councillor Alan Neal, becoming the kingmakers.
