Labour Councillor defects to the Liberal Democrats in Newcastle-Under-Lyme, and more problems for Labour in Birmingham12.28.40pm GMT Mon 2nd Apr 2007 Newcastle-under-Lyme Councillor, Mick Dolman, has resigned the Labour whip to join the Liberal Democrats. Mick, a former trades union organizer, sits for Chesterton Ward on the Borough Council. Last year the Liberal Democrats Andrew Cooley won the ware in the local elections. Councillor Dolman and Councillor Cooley have already been working closely together on the Chesterton Neighbourhood Partnership to drive the regeneration of the area. The third seat is still represented by Labour, but Trevor Johnson looks set to make it three out of three on May 3rd by winning the seat from Labour. Also news reaches me that former Handsworth (in Birmingham) Labour Councillor John Tyrrell has quit the party over a row over the imposition of candidates. In his resignation letter he said "Unfortunately it appears that paid officers take decision more and more frequently: decisions that should properly be taken by members of the party."
