A Tameside councillor has resigned from the Labour Party after alleging years of being ‘persistently bullied’ within his own group.
Councillor Sam Gosling, who has represented Stalybridge North since 2018, has announced he is leaving the Labour group, which has a ruling majority on Tameside council.
Coun Gosling had already confirmed he would not be seeking re-election in May but he has now publicly resigned from Labour to serve as an independent councillor for the remaining five months.
