Five independent councillors on the borough council brought a motion against the Labour leader, Cllr Steve Siddons, arguing that it was time for a new person to be at the head of the authority.
Following almost two hours of debate the motion was defeated by 20 votes to 25.
Speaking after the meeting, Cllr Siddons said that the motion had been a “waste of time”.
Cllr Steve Siddons: “It’s a huge waste of time and resources and our reputation as a respected decision making body has been harmed."
He said: “This was a needless and pointless action today brought about by some councillors who still do not understand the job they were elected to do.
