Only three of 12 Barnard Castle town councillors re-elected | Darlington and Stockton Times

Barnard Castle Ppicture: SARAH CALDECOTT
A TOWN council will be full of fresh faces when it meets for the first time since last week’s local elections after only voters decided to stick with just three former councillors.
The large-scale shift in personnel at Barnard Castle Town Council comes after the council lost an employment tribunal for the unfair dismissal of former deputy town clerk Jane Woodward amid “moral disapproval” of her personal relationship with a councillor.
Ms Woodward was awarded damages of more than £55,000 and the saga was used by many new candidates who called for a change, and an end to the costly “sleaze”.
