Conservatives took overall control of South Shropshire for the first time in its history, gaining 6 seats at the expense of LibDem and Independent councillors.
In Bridgnorth, Conservative councillors gained 3 seats at the expense of the LibDems and Independents gained 2 from the LibDems.
Mr Dunne said: "I am pleased to see more Conservative councillors elected to both South Shropshire and Bridgnorth District Councils.
In South Shropshire, this was all the more impressive a result given that half of the sitting Conservative councillors, including me, had stood down.
Conservative momentum continues locally with Conservative gains of 9 seats. across the Ludlow constituency. The LibDems have fallen back, losing 9 seats, despite only a solitary Labour councillor in the constituency.
South Shropshire and Bridgnorth residents have endorsed through the ballot box what they said in January's opinion postal ballot on the structure of local government in the county. There has been a clear increase in representation by councillors who want to serve their District Council rather than scrap it.
These results send a very clear signal to the Government that the people of Shropshire do not want a Unitary Authority based in Shrewsbury to be imposed on them.
I look forward to working with the new administration to serve all residents in the area."
South Shropshire District Council election on 3rd May saw 6 Conservative gains to become the largest party with 18 councillors, replacing the LibDems who led the previous administration with Independents and a Green. Conservatives have taken outright control for the first time since the Council was formed in 1973. Mr Dunne was the first councillor elected as a Conservative on SSDC in a by-election as recently as October 2001.
Bridgnorth District Council election saw 3 Conservative gains to increase Conservative party representation to 13 councillors, while the LibDems lost 5 seats, including those of the Mayors of Bridgnorth and Much Wenlock.
