Keith Barrow resigns as council leader and councillor
It had to happen and I am glad that it has happened sooner rather than later. Keith Barrow has resigned as council leader following years of concern about conflicts of interest over his business affairs. Complaints have been made and upheld through the council's standards procedure. More have been submitted in the last few days. At least one complaint has been sent to West Mercia police for investigation. There has also been growing dissatisfaction over Keith Barrow's leadership style, which has concentrated power with himself and a few lieutenants. Now he has resigned..
