Who will take control at Dudley Council House?

Dudley Council will see candidates contest one seat in each of 24 wards, with 104 candidates in the running.

With the political balance in the council chamber on a knife edge, Labour and Conservatives have fielded full slates for each of the borough’s wards, while UKIP is standing 15 candidates in its bid to win back the councillors it lost last year.

The full list of candidates

The Greens are fighting in 13 wards as are the Liberal Democrats, while local group the Black Country Party is also contesting seats in Sandwell, Walsall and Wolverhampton.

The elections will take place on May 2.

One of the Conservative’s target wards is Norton whose sitting Independent, Heather Rogers, switched her support to the Labour party last year and gave them control of the authority by doing so.

The leader of the council and the Labour group, Qadar Zada, will be defending his Netherton, Woodside & St Andrew’s seat.
