Broxtowe Borough Council has appointed a leader after the Labour Party claimed victory following the local elections. The Labour group gained 26 seats out of a possible 44 in the May 4 election, compared to the 14 seats it held after 2019.
At the authority’s meeting on May 17, Councillor Milan Radulovic was chosen as leader, while Councillor Greg Marshall will be his deputy. Mr Marshall, who represents Beeston West, recently announced that he had missed out on the shortlist to become the area’s next MP.
The Broxtowe Labour Committee accused the national party of blocking their choice of a local candidate. A new group has also been formed on the council, the Independent and Liberal Democrat Group. Councillor Steve Carr is the group leader.
