Votes were counted overnight at Sandwell Council

Of the 72 positions on the council, 24 were up for grabs having last been contested in 2019.

Labour held control of Sandwell Council going into the election with 57 councillors, while the Conservatives had 10, Liberal Democrats had two while Sandwell Together and independents had one each. There was also one vacant seat.

And that position was enhanced as the party emerged from this year's contest with 60 councillors.

The Conservatives also made gains, upping its number of councillors from 10 to 12 as the Lib Dems, Sandwell Together and the independent councillor all losing their seats to leave just two parties represented on Sandwell Council.

Turnout across the borough was 22.92 per cent, down from 26.12 per cent last year.
