Bolton West MP Chris Green said:
“Following the Bolton News’ revelation that Council Leader Cliff Morris gave a private law firm a £300,000 ‘grant’ in secret, I’m calling on Cliff Morris to do the right thing and resign as leader of Bolton Council.
“If he won’t do that, then it’s time for the Labour Councillors who put him in his position to step in and kick him out.
“After wasting a million pounds on saunas, the lack of investment in Bolton West and giving the go-ahead for our green belt to be bulldozed, this is the icing on the cake. The handing over of £300,000 to a business led by someone who has boasted about owning his sixth Lamborghini is the last straw.
“He has lost the confidence of the people of Bolton and it’s now time for him to go.”
