Tamworth Borough Council it seems today has got two newly designated Independent members. Councillor Martin Summers and Councillor Paul Turner are now showing on the Borough Council website as Independent. Have they had a scrap and got kicked out? Have they decided they’ve had enough? Sadly we don’t know. It isn’t however a good look for the Tories who at last count are now down to just 5 members if you still count the one who now apparently resides permanently in Brazil (yes as if we didn’t know).
We would love to know what’s happened here but even if we do find out from our sources or indeed you dear reader, we won’t be able to publish it unless we have proof. For now these two are either suspended from their party or have decided to leave, which is very unlikely for at least one of them since Turner is the Demolition Deputy leader of the opposition. With the next Council meeting being the 25th of February, will these two take their seats amongst the ever growing ranks of independents, or will it all be over with both back in the bosom of their group. We shall have to wait and see.
