Earnshaw Bridge abandoned by Tories!

Former Tory Councillor Irvine Edwards (you may never have met him…) has announced his resignation from the Council. Mr Edwards, who actually lives in Much Hoole resigned due to ‘ill health’. Unfortunately for his residents, Mr Edwards waited to hand his resignation in until the deadline which would allow an election for his replacement had passed. (Local election laws stop you from having a by election so close to the full council elections next May). It can surely be no coincidence that Mr Edwards handed his resignation in ON THE VERY DAY that marked that deadline!!! This means that the people of Earnshaw Bridge will be under represented at the Civic Centre for the next seven months. What a poor ending to your period as a councillor.
