A Tameside councillor who left her cabinet role last week has vowed to transform the scandal-hit authority in a bid to be named its new leader. Coun Eleanor Wills said the local authority needs a 'culture reset' following the resignations of both the council chief executive and leader.
A Tameside councillor who left her a cabinet role last week has vowed to transform the scandal-hit authority in a bid to be named its new leader.
Over the next few days, it has been suggested that a new council leader will be brought in under the guidance of the national Labour Party. Labour confirmed last week that they had implemented a 'campaign improvement board' in Tameside to oversee the changes. “There is nothing more important than the work Tameside Council does in protecting the most vulnerable children and young people in our community - and Tameside Council has failed them.
“We need to reset the culture, empower hard-working employees and lead by example. When they succeed - Tameside succeeds. We need to look at ourselves too. “And we need to move on and put old rivalries aside. I would lead by example. This is an opportunity to draw a line and move forward for the sake of our residents – for the sake of our children.
