Full list of Dudley election candidates ahead of council's biggest contest in 20 years

The ruling Conservative group will be looking to retain control but Labour are hoping for gains to hand them control of the council.

The Lib Dems hope to increase their numbers in the council chamber while independent candidates could hold the balance of power in a hung council.

Voting will take place on May 2 and results will be declared throughout the following day.

Here are all the candidates for each ward.
