The final result at Dudley Borough Council could come down to as few as four votes I'm told., external
The Conservative Party needs to win the Wollaston ward to tie its overall councillor total with Labour at 36 each.
Rob Mayor
Political reporter, BBC WM
We're still waiting for the last result to be declared in Dudley and it couldn't be tighter with the overall totals standing at 36 for Labour and 35 for the Conservatives.
If the Tories take the last seat, leader Patrick Harley's confirmed to me, external that they will then use their casting vote to deliver a Conservative mayor and leader in the event of a tie.
The next mayor was going to be Labour's Hilary Bills but Mr Harley said: ""Politics is brutal sometimes."

They've won all three seats in the Madeley and Sutton Hill ward., external
We have our first result of the night from Stoke-on-Trent City Council and it's a Labour gain from the City Independents.
Labour nationally had targeted this authority, in no overall control, having lost it four years ago.

This race in Dudley for control of the borough is really heading down to the wire, as Labour has just taken Halesowen North from the Conservatives., external
That result followed two Tory gains - and both parties were separated by just one seat going into the vote; Labour holding 36 to the Tories' 35.

Votes are being recounted for a second time in the Brierley Hill ward , externalin the Black Country town.

Let's recap on the results we've had so far tonight.
There are still three to come from Dudley, Telford and Wrekin and Stoke-on-Trent.

The knife-edge election in Dudley we've been telling you about all night has just swung a bit more towards the Conservative Party.
It's made its second gain, external but this could still go down to the wire as I'm hearing of a possible Labour gain elsewhere and a full recount is taking place for the Wollaston & Stourbridge Town ward., external

Reporter, BBC Hereford & Worcester
The Conservatives have lost overall control of Worcester City Council, external.
With a third of seats being voted on this election, and the Conservatives holding a slim overall lead from the last time people went to the polls, they can't now get an overall majority.
With one ward to be declared, we have totals of 16 Conservative councillors, 15 Labour and three Green Party members.

The final results have been declared at Sandwell Council and all the 24 seats have been retained by Labour which remains in control of the authority., external
It would have stayed in control whatever the polling, as it held 70 of the 72 seats beforehand. But Labour has dominated this local election.

And it's getting even better for Labour in Telford and Wrekin - the party has had the second gain of the night following its earlier success in Ironbridge Gorge ward.
Remember, Labour went into the election with a one-seat majority.
In both instances, the party has a Tory scalp.

A significant declaration in Dudley Borough - or 'knife-edge Dudley' as we're dubbing it.... A Conservatives gain.
Remember, the party was holding 35 seats to Labour's 36 before the election.
A third of seats were voted on this year, and most so far have been holds for each party. But Tories have made a breakthrough in Brockmoor and Pensnett.

Possibly the least surprising result of this election night is that Sandwell Council will remain in Labour hands.
The party held 70 of the 72 seats as votes were cast earlier, and just a third were up for election - almost all have been holds for Labour., external
