Full South Staffordshire Council election results as Conservatives lose seats but maintain control
The Conservatives lost seven seats but maintained control of South Staffordshire, as Labour and the Lib Dems made gains.
The Conservatives held the majority of seats going into the election, with 36. The others were held by seven independents, three Green Party members, one Labour councillor and a UKIP representative.
Following a boundary commission review, there were 42 seats up for election – down seven from the previous 49.
This year’s election saw the Liberal Democrats gain four new seats – three in the Kinver and Enville ward and one at Penkridge North and Acton Trussell.
Meanwhile, the Independents won a total of five seats, while Labour and the Green Party were elected to two each.
UKIP failed to be elected in any ward – meaning their previous position of one seat was lost.
A total of 25,315 valid votes were received in this year’s district elections, with a turnout of 29.6 per cent
