A Wirral councillor has been removed from his position after he failed to attend a meeting for six months in a row.
Paul Connolly was elected as councillor for Heswall in May 2022, narrowly winning the seat for the Conservatives. He then attended two full council meetings, but didn’t turn up to any others after May 25.
Wirral’s Conservative Party said they were told Mr Connolly was unwell and this was why he was “unable to fulfil his duties, and would require a period of time to convalesce.” They wished him a full recovery.
