Sandwell Council election results in full as Labour retain grip but Tories make gains

Going into yesterday's vote, the party was defending 24 seats from the time they were last contested in 2018, meaning no gains were possible.

In the end, Labour took 21 seats while the Conservatives made three gains as their opposition in the borough continues to grow.

It means Sandwell now has 61 Labour councillors, 10 Tories and one Sandwell Together representative.

In the end, both parties were satisfied with the results. Councillor Kerrie Carmichael, the Labour leader of the council said "any borough would kill for 21 Labour seats", while Nicola Richards, Conservative MP for West Bromwich East, said her party was "continuing to make progress and build on the relationships we have with people".

This was another election hampered by another low turnout – with the overall average turnout hitting 26.12 per cent. The lowest ward turnout was Princes End where just 17.91 per cent of those eligible cast their votes.
