The Conservative party has taken control of Cannock Chase District Council for the first time.

Conservatives have never had majority leadership of the council, without a coalition, before, Ms Lyons said.
The Tories have 24 seats on the council.
"We have worked incredibly hard, we've knocked a lot of doors and we have engaged with a lot of residents," she said.
