Wirral’s Conservative leader said he has made the “tough decision” to stand down at the next election.
Cllr Tom Anderson, who currently leads Wirral’s second largest party, said he made the decision for personal reasons “to achieve a much more stable and sustainable work life balance.”
He has been one of the councillors for Greasby, Frankby and Irby since 2014 when he won by just four votes and was elected as leader of the Conservatives in May 2021 on a platform of protecting Wirral’s green belt.
