THE Conservatives have held onto Kingswinford North and Wall Heath following tonight's by-election.
A fairly decent 26 per cent of people turned out to vote in the ward where Edward Lawrence, for the Tories, polled a whopping 1,456 votes to retain the seat left vacant by the shock resignation of Natalie Neale.
His next nearest rival - Labour's Lynn Boleyn who had previously served as a Labour councillor in the ward and before that as a Liberal Democrat, was more than 500 votes behind with 934.
Meanwhile - UKIP's Mick Forsyth polled 262 votes, leaving The Green Party's Andi Mohr in fourth place with just 52 votes.
