The local election results last Thursday mean that the Labour Party have gained control of nine councils across the midlands. In the east midlands there were gains in: Ashfield, Bassetlaw, Chesterfirld, Gedling, Lincoln, and Mansfield. In the west midlands there were gains in North Warwickshire, Stoke on Trent and Telford and the Wrekin.
The result in Stoke on Trent was particularly significant in that the BNP were rejected by residents in all the cwards where they stood, in the process losing five sitting councillors. indeed, across the region only one BNP councillor was successful, a desperate situation for a party that just a year ago had hopes of breakign through across the country.
