Cllr Janette Williamson will remain leader of Wirral Council, despite her Labour group losing seats at the recent local elections.
In the May 5 vote, Labour lost two seats to the Greens and one to the Conservatives, leaving the party on just 26 of Wirral’s 66 seats. That is well short of a majority and just two ahead of the Conservatives.
But following talks between the four main parties, Cllr Williamson was backed unanimously to continue leading Wirral Council during tonight’s annual meeting at Wallasey Town Hall. Speaking tonight, Cllr Williamson said it was a “big honour” to get the unanimous support of the council.
