Party leader hits 'untrue' accusations in row over election posters being removed
A PARTY leader has hit out at "untrue" accusations made online amid a row over election posters being removed.
The team representing Lib Dem Stanway candidate Lesley Scott-Boutell in the upcoming Essex County Council elections say all their posters and banners were taken down.
A supporter saw an Essex Highways operative remove a banner from outside her home.
The team has reported the matter to the police.
Now the Conservative party has refuted allegations it says were made on social media about the incident.
Paul Dundas, Conservative group leader on Colchester Council, said: “We have been made aware various election boards and banners have been removed by various statutory bodies in Stanway.
