Extraordinary Labour Group meeting on January 7th to fill vacancies left by defections

Brent Labout Group will hold an extraordinary meeting on Wednesday January 7th at 6pm to fill vacancies caused by the defection of 5 councillors to the Green Party. The vacancies include Chief Whip and a Cabinet position. Cllr Liz Dixon (left) has applied for the Chief Whip position. She tells her colleagues that she sees this as an interim caretaker position until the next administrations and cites her role as Chair during Covid:

'I was group chair for a number of years and steered the group when we went through Covid which was a very turbulent and demanding time. It needed a strong and assertive chair. I learnt a great deal during that period which I can put into use as chief whip.'

Nominations will also be taken from the floor at the meeting.
