Submitting.
Cllr Helen Howell
Some members objected to this new vote so a third zoom meeting was held yesterday (Sunday) to ratify the decision.
One member who did not wish to be named said: “The second vote was not constitutional. It was railroaded through and then the meeting was shut down so we couldn’t object.”
Another, who spoke to the Northants Telegraph on condition of anonymity, said: “It’s World War Three. Lots of senior members of the party are incandescent. This is not the start that we wanted or expected.
”So much for a fresh start.”
The decision means that both the leader and the deputy leader of the council will be from East Northamptonshire.
