Labour takes Control of Thanet Council

Iris Johnson proposed Clive Hart as new leader of council after Cllr Bayford loses vote of confidence.

It will be interesting to see if Clive Hart is up to the job, I'd like to think he is but I'm afraid. ....

Anywayh the vote in favour was confirmed at 20:29 twenty eight for Hart twenty six votes for Bayford.

  1. So much for the votes of the Thanet electorate. One snake turns and the party with the most votes is out.

    Heaven help Thanet is all I can say and I suppose the same is true of Hart if, to cling to power, he has to rely on the support of the same snake.

  2. Bob Bayford and his cabinet can look back with pride and say "at least we had lunch with queen". I cant remember what else they have achieved for Thanet apart from getting themselves voted out.

  3. Not by the people they didn't and that is all that should matter.

  5. Clive Hart has shown little by way of leadership skills managing Thanet Labour, let alone the District Council, so Tony's pessimism is not unwarranted.

    It would take a good spirit of co-operation and mutual support to run TDC on these knife edge majorities. Labour did not give that to Bayford's team so can one see the Tories helping Hart's crew.

    Very sad for the people of Thanet.
