A town hall’s legal chief says that Tameside’s council leader did not breach the code of conduct when she said a controversial garden village scheme would be ‘rammed down’ the throat of opponents.
At a full council meeting on Tuesday night, Labour leader Brenda Warrington hit back at the ‘Brenda the Bulldozer’ nickname given to her by the Tory opposition over the Godley Green project.
The scheme, which has been submitted for planning approval by the authority, would see 2,150 homes as well as local centres, retail and commercial sites developed on green belt land in Hyde.
