Do we know why Eleanor Southwood has stepped down?
Get that request in quick, then the election can take place on the same day as the General Election, 4 July, and save us the cost of paying for separate polling!
Obviously it's been set up to happen on the same day
Anon 10.15. I can only surmise (but may be wrong) as some time ago got a demanding job at the RNIB when she stepped down from the Cabinet. Saves cost of stand alone by-election if happens on July 4th.
Anon 30 May 2024 at 10:15 - it is rumoured that she no longer resides in the Borough
A loss to the council and a chance for another Butt stooge to be secreted into our democracy
Anon 30 May 2024 at 12:22 - A loss, hardly, a very blue labour councillor in the end. You might be right about a Butt loyalist being installed though, or maybe someone like Nerva or Crabb with links to the media and right wing of the Labour Party.
More news, towerblock tatler to stand as mp on the other side of London!
She was a stooge
She’s been inactive as a councillor locally for over a year. Think she moved away
