From Bolton Conservatives:
We are hearing rumours that Cllr Morris, Leader of the Labour Group, has lost a vote of no confidence in Bolton West. If this is true, it's a major blow to his leadership of the Council.
This isn't the end of the matter, of course. The faults in Bolton don't rest solely on Cllr Morris' shoulders, they have to be shared amongst his Labour cabinet as well. Nevertheless, this is their leader and when it comes to the numerous problems in Bolton, the buck has to ultimately stop with him.
We'll cover this more once we find out whether there's any truth in this confidence vote rumour, and we will also keep you informed if there's any change in the leadership, of course.
