MANY of the town's councillors retained their posts in the polls as the BNP failed to win a single seat in Dudley at the local elections.

Margaret Wilson (Lab) stayed in control of her Brierley Hill ward after scooping 963 votes with a 227 vote majority.

Cllr Wilson beat Steven Ridley (Cons) who got 736 votes, Paul Southall (UKIP) with 694 votes and John Dyer (Lib Dems) with 241 votes.

Current Mayor, David Stanley (Cons) also retained his Gornal ward seat with 1776 votes, a 651 majority - as he gets set to leave his Mayoral position in two weeks.

He defeated Philip Rowe (UKIP) who notched up 1125 votes, Stuart Turner (Lab) with 830 votes, Vicki Peace (BNP) with 513 votes and Michael Jones (Lib Dems) with 154 votes.

Quarry Bank and Dudley Wood ward saw Bryan Cotterill (Lab) retain his seat with 1376 votes, a majority of 257.

He beat off competition from Michael Wood (Cons) with 1119 votes, Julian Griffiths (BNP) with 437 votes, Helen Wimlett (UKIP) with 192 votes and John White (Lib Dems) scoring 136 votes.

Shaukat Ali (Lab) stayed in control of his St Thomas's Ward seat with 1587 votes, a majority of 581 votes. He defeated Philip Wimlett (UKIP) with 1006 votes, Louis Redding (Cons) with 555 votes, Giovanna Faulkner (Lib Dems) with 161 votes and Tony Barnsley (Ind) with 135 votes.

In Sedgley ward, Michael Evans (Cons) retained his seat with 2318 votes, a majority of 642 votes. Following the resignation of Charles Fraser Macnamara, a second seat went to Geoffrey Perry (Cons) with 1676 votes. They defeated Robert Dudley (UKIP) with 784 votes, Parshottam Das Gupta (Lab) with 573 votes, Cicely Thomas (Lab) with 540 votes and Dennis Partridge (UKIP) with 522 votes.

Speaking about the BNP's failure to gain seats throughout the Dudley borough, Leader of the Council, David Caunt said he believed "BNP support was diminishing for the third year running."

You are brainwashed, I am not that astonished as you are from Gornal. You will never achieve anything in life by following Nazis. I estimate you are a bnp crust aswell. I can state there is a lot more in life than being a miserable old git narrow minded, miss guided, brain washed, ignorant person who ought to have been shipped out to Australia. You got left behind.

Sniper, your comments disgust me. Your tactics of bullying those who disagree with you are far more Nazi then anything the BNP (which believes strongly in free speech) does.

Also don't you dare try to Deny JETBOY 59 the right to say that this country is his as well. He is indigenous and it is nothing less then genocidal to deny Native peoples their claim to their own homeland.

Finally, if you think British National Party supporters are brainwashed then perhaps you should look up the United Nations charters on the rights of indigenous peoples and the convention on genocide and then look at Britain's current immigration policy. Maybe then you will reconsider who is being brainwashed.

i guess you are from the same clan as jetboy, just look at the history of the bnp & you will realize for yourslf that they are a party full of hate. I here this all the time, native people, what are you going to prove after that? bnp is not the answer to immigration policy. the truth is exposed of the bnp & we will continue exposing the bnp inside out.

each member of the bnp has got some kind of a criminal record, you telling me these people care about you? what have they done for other than causing trouble? you are the LOST PEOPLE. Get a life. If you think people do not know about the bnp then you need to wake up. We will continue exposing them again & again. We know the truth, you dont.

i suggest you read up on the history of Nick Griffin & the rest of the Nazi scums. They should be ashamed of themselves. Evil people live in our country how can they get away with all the lies & stoking up hatred against minority communities.

The thing is that no one has got a problem in dudley with each other regardless of race etc, as soon as the Nazis got in they tried there best to cause trouble but it failed. The BNP are not welcome in dudley. Nazi scums.

Jetboy 59 & joshua you are the people who are the ones who would have supported hitler back then, you are doing it now. You are wasting your time & your life backing the Nazi scums. They are not British themselves. British people are not like the Nazi scums we have in dudley. Nazi scums are not welcome in dudley.
