Councillor apologises for conduct in market row meeting - but does not retract all allegations
A councillor has apologised for his conduct at a meeting where he accused the council leader of using his position to 'orchestrate' the demise of a town’s market. Coun Bernard Wynne, of Middleton Independents Party, made a series of explosive claims about Coun Neil Emmott at a Rochdale council meeting in December - shortly after the authority stepped in to take Middleton market under its control.
