Double body blow for Bolton s ruling Conservatives as two councillors quit party and Liberal Democrats end working arrangement

BOLTON’S controlling Conservative group suffered two huge blows today as two of their councillors quit the party and Liberal Democrats terminated a working agreement with the administration. The Tories, a minority group in the council chamber but who control the authority through a working arrangement with other parties, have now lost that relationship with the borough’s seven Liberal Democrat members. The news comes as two Conservative members, Cllr Beverley Fletcher, who represents Breightmet and Cllr Diane Parkinson, who was elected for the Hulton ward, quit the party saying that they’ didn’t feel the council have stood up to the government enough to support and protect Bolton’.
