Background

After the last election in 2006 the Conservatives controlled the council with 34 seats, compared to 19 for Labour, 6 Liberal Democrats and 1 independent.[3] However, in July 2006 2 Conservative councillors, Aqeel Aslam and Haqnawaz Khan of Pleck and St Matthews wards respectively, defected to Labour, leaving the Conservatives on 32 seats compared to 21 for Labour.[4]

Election result

The results saw the Conservatives gain 1 seat from Labour in Pleck, to move to 33 seats, and stay in control of the council.[5][6] As well as the loss to the Conservatives, Labour lost a further 2 seats and so fell to 18 councillors.[5] The other Labour losses came in Darlaston South, where independent Chris Bott gained the seat, and in Blakenall, where Peter Smith of the Democratic Labour Party, took the seat by 15 votes.[6] Meanwhile, the Liberal Democrats won 2 seats and stayed on 6 councillors.[5]
