Changes 2010–2011

[edit]

Labour councillor Anne Graham joined the Liberal Democrat group in February 2011, bringing them to 36 Councillors out of 63.[3]

On 2 February 2011, Councillors David White, Roy Driver and Anne Graham all resigned from the Liberal Democrat Group. All three cited unhappiness with the national party's involvement with a "Tory-led" government. They formed an Independent Left Group on the Council, whilst awaiting the result of membership applications to the Labour Party, and subsequently joined the Labour Group after the 2011 elections.[3] Driver was not selected for a seat in the May 2011 elections, but unsuccessfully contested Bredbury and Woodley for Labour in May 2012.[4] He was eventually elected as councillor for Reddish North in 2015.[5]
