The group have elected a fresh-faced new leader following the departure of two party veterans.
The Oldham Conservative group have elected a new leader following the departure of two bosses within the space of two months. Councillor Max Woodvine will now lead the group, which has been reduced to five members after three councillors quit the party this year. The new Oldham Tory boss was elected within hours after coun Dave Arnott resigned from the post just over a week after taking up the position.
” The 23-year-old Saddleworth South councillor hinted at his priorities as leader in a statement online, where he named ‘saving the Green Belt’, a ‘public inquiry into CSE’ and ‘freezing council tax’ and promised to ‘continue challenging Oldham Council’. Coun Woodvine will be the group’s third leader in as many months. Coun Graham Sheldon left the party after 13 years of standing as a Conservative councillor in early January.
