Cllr Judy Foster Gives Her Thoughts On The Dudley Election Count So Far

Transcript

00:00 Okay, it's Paul Jenkins at the Express and Star with Judy Foster, the Deputy Leader of

00:05 the Labour Party and you've been returned as Brockmoor and Pensonet

00:10 Councillor again, congratulations. Thank you very much Paul. And a good result we've

00:14 seen just in St Thomas Ward. How do you think it's going for your party so far

00:18 today? Well, it's a mixed picture. We lost a seat in Castleman Priory but we've

00:24 gained one in Bournewall, obviously we gained one in Brockmoor and Pensonet and I

00:27 think there are more gains but I really wouldn't want to call the result at this

00:31 stage. There are still a number of seats to be counted and I never want to tempt

00:35 fate by trying to guess. The only outcome that matters is the one that is the

00:41 figure that we are given at the end of the count. Are you confident with the

00:46 start of the results that you can go on and get a good result at the end?

00:50 I'm confident that we will make overall gains. How many I do not know at

00:59 this stage but I think it's looking like there's a possibility we could be

01:04 forming an administration or taking control of the council but it's too soon

01:08 to say. Okay, well there you go there's another declaration coming up so thank

01:13 you for your time and stay up to date on the Express and Star live blog and on
