Alston and Hothersall ward s Jim Rogerson has resigned while Salthill s Ian Brown has been suspended. Their departures recall the split in the authority s Tory group in 2018 when several councillors quit eventually leading to then council leader Ken Hind s resignation. The news comes as the party seeks to defend three council bye-elections on May 6. Cllr Brown was suspended by Ribble Valley Conservative Association for standing as an independent against official candidate Sue Hind, whose husband Ken is the party election agent, in the Lancashire County Council poll for Clitheroe Division on the same day. He said: I have no regrets. I have represented Clitheroe on the county council for eight years. The selection process was flawed.
