A councillor has resigned from Stamford Town Council
citing lack of proper procedure and decision making, vanity projects and photo opportunities taking priority over meeting real community needs such as making full use of outdoor spaces and funding for youth project and a lack of serving the full town as opposed to just the parts that look good in period drama. Jonathan Waples felt he couldn't stay in office till the end of the mayoral year. The Mayor of Stamford and Chair of the Town Council, Councillor Amanda Wheeler says she'd like to thank Jonathan Waples personally for all his hard work during the time he served the town in his role as a councillor for St. John’s Ward and is sorry he's found his time on the council challenging and wishes him every success for the future. Councillor Wheeler goes on to say she believes that the remaining councillors are all committed to working hard, delivering exciting new projects and serving every member of the community to the best of their ability. She goes on to say they managed to work well together regardless of background or political party and are proud to have recently welcomed five new councillors to the team and are excited for what they can deliver for Stamford working together.
