The Government following consultation has agreed to change the date for local council elections next year to co-incide with those for the European elections. The date will be 22nd May 2014, rather than 1st May 2014.
The local elections which are affected by this change of date are the elections to over ninety district councils in England, all metropolitan district councils, and all London boroughs plus a small number of parishes, as well as five mayoral elections. A list of the relevant local authorities is included in the Explanatory Memorandum which accompanies the draft Order. The full ministerial statement can be read here
