Prime Minister Theresa May stopped off in Dudley yesterday morning, to give local Tories a boost ahead of the forthcoming council elections.

Mrs May praised Dudley's Conservative-run council for the way it’s been managing services over the last year, and said the Tories were working to keep costs down and the council tax down. 

However, she refused to be drawn into how she thinks the Conservatives will do in the local elections. The Tories took control of Dudley Council from Labour last May.
