The local paper’s website is once again reporting on the fact that Lib Dem Councillor for Dudden Hill Ward David Clues is living in Brighton and is inaccessible to local residents. You can read the article here – LINK
Calling a by-election is totally out of our hands so Dudden Hill Labour will continue to work hard for our residents as we have been doing since even before we had elected Councillors in the ward.
Labour in Calderdale are quite happy to have a councillor who spends half his time with his family in Turkey . 55 miles from Brighton to Dudden Hill is nothing compared to Turkey from Halifax .
I understand there is an intention to resign for an election on the same date as another election to minimise the cost to the taxpayer http://www.hebdenbridgetimes.co.uk/news/local/new-overseas-position-for-mayoress-of-calderdale-1-4237564
David Clues had the same opportunity to have a by-election on the same day as the London Mayoral vote in May. This would have minimised election costs for the Council and the timing made sense.
The intention was for Nader to resign for a byelection to be fought this November . That however was when he was a LD councillor . Pressure from local LD’s for him to stick to this meant a damascean conversion to Labour . Labour who were calling on him to resign in May when he was a LD now think there is no need for him to resign at all now he is Labour .
So he is not resigning and is permanently living abroad?
He is spending roughly half his time in Turkey with his family . Notably he was in Turkey when many of his electors were flooded out of their homes earlier this ” summer ” when they needed his help .
So he is not resigning under any circumstance and is not permanently living abroad?
That is what he is now saying .
@mark senior first of all your talking out of your arse with the turkey thing seeing as you have no evidence for it and mr punjab your just jealous
