A borough councillor has resigned from the Conservative group but says the decision wasn't based on the national or local political landscape.
"Decision not based on local or national landscape" - Conservative councillor resigns from council group
Councillor Thomas said:"It is correct that I have left the Conservative Party to serve as an Independent Councillor representing the Priorslee Ward and as Parish Councillor on St Georges and Priorslee Parish Council.But the councillor who was elected with more than 1,000 votes and topped the poll in Priorslee at the all-out council election last May says he will be representing residents as an independent from now on.
"Nothing else will change. I am the same person, irrespective of political allegiance, dedicated to represent those that elected me to the best of my ability." "It came out of the blue," he said."I understand it was a personal thing for Paul. He is heavily involved in the community and has a number of personal commitments."
