No one voted for him to be council leader beyond his whipped flock of sheep and the only reason he keeps being voted back into Oswaldtwistle is through the vast sums of money he can spend on improvements. It's a real catch-22 situation and the only way to remove that crutch is for control to move to another group.
I'm sorry John, I know he is a friend of yours but he is absolutely atrocious for Hyndburn as a whole. There are any number of decent Conservative councillors who would do a far better job as Leader.

I remember when we were controlled by another group, was the start of Hyndburn's demise, on the first of May 1997 on a 47 seat council Labour had a 44 seat majority, by the May elections 1999 (two elections) Labour were gone.
