VOTERS go to the polls across Dudley today (Thursday) for the  local elections and to choose a new West Midlands Police and Crime Commissioner.

Candidates will today be making a final push to get those all-important votes that will earn them seats on Dudley Council or the job of leading West Midlands Police before polling stations close at 10pm tonight.

The ballot papers will be counted at Stourbridge Town Hall, Brierley Hill Civic Hall and Dudley Town Hall after the polls close – and the results will be published on our website as they become available.
