Tameside council’s ruling group has undergone a reshuffle ahead of its new leader being confirmed next week. Following the last minute resignation of Brenda Warrington from the role of the leader of the Labour group, there has now been a shake-up of cabinet positions which has seen several of her key allies ditched.
Droylsden West member Ged Cooney was appointed group leader unopposed at the AGM on Sunday night following what Coun Warrington had slammed as a ‘hostile’ leadership challenge.
A further shake-up of Tameside’s cabinet and key committee positions took place on Thursday night, which has seen a number of former backbenchers moved into leading roles.
