However the outcome of the elections may change things. 'Rumour' has it that Jean Lockwood has been promised it, Kazi has ben promised it and Tony Dobson has been promised it by PB.
The last 'unfortunate' resignation I can think of was Deakin which was before my time. Of course there has been Anne Scaife and Wyn Frankland since. Anne because she moved and Wyn openly condemned her Party as the reason for going.
There are always allegations about Councillors 'outside' activities but you don't expect me to comment without fact do you Gondola?
You won't catch me out Gondola no matter how hard you try as I tell what I believe to be the truth. I may be wrong or see things completely different, but that is a long way from deliberate deceitfulness.

Councillor Jones,
Thank you for your comments. I agree that any mayor, or indeed Councillor should have a grasp of the English language. Otherwise he would not be in a position to serve those in his ward that are only fluent in English. The need for such a command of language is even greater due to the fact that he is Portfolio holder for Community Cohesion. How on earth can he even begin to integrate different communities when he does not speak the language of the majority. It is an absolute nonsense. I appreciate that it is not your remit to decide who serves in such posts, but if you felt sufficiently'interested' then surely you ought to have raised this issue before now and in a forum other than here. Perhaps a notice prior to the AGM's would have been appropriate with the backing of other councillors.
You are right that I don't expect you to comment on the activities of Councillors without evidence. Such a thesis would be absurd. But that is my very point. Councillor Jean Batlle and Myles have the evidence in relation to Siddique. they have simply not done anything about it. That is all set to change.
Ask them - will you then be able to tell me I am wrong? No, thought not.
