BREAKING: Tameside council leader Ged Cooney has resigned
A Greater Manchester council leader has quit after a week which saw its chief executive resign and several councillors leave their roles. Tameside council leader Ged Cooney has tendered his resignation with 'immediate effect' this morning alongside deputy leader Bill Fairfoull. It comes after another damning report, this time by a government-appointed commissioner, into the local authority's failing children's services.
council in crisis as children suffer The Manchester Evening News exclusively revealed last night that the Labour Party is now sending in its own officials to fix the crisis-hit council. The move means the national party could pick the new leader, taking the decision away from local councillors.
