Lichfield and Burntwood turned blue as the Conservatives took every Staffordshire County Council seat across the district.

Labour’s hopes of retaining and winning seats collapsed as the national voting picture was repeated locally.

Burntwood saw Tom Loughbrough-Rudd oust Sue Woodward, while Darren Ennis’ hopes of winning a seat at the county council were dashed as the Conservatives saw Mike Wilcox take the seat.

The nearest Labour came to taking a seat in Lichfield was the Lichfield City North division where Kathy Coe MBE was beaten by district councillor Janice Silvester-Hall.

Among those celebrating the local successes was Lichfield MP Michael Fabricant who described the results as “spectacular”.
