Full Dudley Council election results as mayors past and present lose seats
Labour may made a couple of gains, but the Conservatives remained the party in control of Dudley Council after this year's local elections.
A total of 25 seats (one third of the council plus one vacant seat) were being contested, which were last up for grabs in 2019.
Heading into the election, the Conservatives had control of the authority with 45 councillors, compared to 25 for Labour and one independent.
By 4.20am, when the last result was declared, the Conservatives had 44 councillors, while Labour had 27. Meanwhile, there is now just one independent councillor left after two others were ousted.
Despite making two gains Labour lost Brierley Hill, a former safe seat, to the Tories with the Conservatives not losing swathes of seats like they did in other parts of the country.
It was also a bad evening for mayors past and present. Tory mayor Sue Greenaway was ousted in Brockmoor & Pensnett by Labour's Karen Westwood.
Meanwhile, former mayor Anne Millward who ran as an independent in Gornal after being de-selected as a Conservative candidate in March. She lost out out to her Tory replacement, Claire Sullivan.
