Wheatley County Councillor Tim Bearder. THE new highways chief at Oxfordshire County Council has been called again to resign from a seat he holds on another council in Hampshire. Conservatives in Hampshire, including the MP for Eastleigh, are renewing their calls for Mr Bearder to step down from his West End South ward in the borough, after he was named the cabinet member for highways maintenance at Oxfordshire County Council this week. Mr Bearder also won a by-election on May 6, gaining the Forest Hill and Holton seat on South Oxfordshire District Council. Eastleigh Conservatives chair Jerry Hall said: “Residents in West End are rightly feeling short-changed by Three-Timing Tim and many were unaware of his activities in Oxfordshire.
Tim Bearder has been criticised for sitting on two different councils. The Lib Dem politician represents West End on Eastleigh Borough Council. But he also serves as a councillor for Oxford County Council. Eastleigh Tories previously claimed that councillor Bearder was “short-changing residents” by holding down both roles and even called for his resignation. But now Cllr Bearder has hit back at Tory MP for Eastleigh, Paul Holmes, and urged him to “remain consistent” and call for the resignation of two of his own Conservative colleagues, Douglas Ross and Ben Bradley. Mr Ross is the Leader of the Conservatives in Scotland, a Westminster MP and has been elected to serve in the Scottish Parliament.
