The leader of Knowsley Council has been urged to step down by the borough’s main opposition after key defeats at this month’s local elections.
After the Green Party group took seats in Roby and St Gabriels in Huyton from Labour, the Green party has said Cllr Graham Morgan should now step aside. The Green’s victories in those wards increased their membership to seven overall on Knowsley Council.
The borough had once been entirely dominated by Labour councillors, but have lost a number of seats in recent years to the Greens, independents and the Liberal Democrats.
