Nottingham City Council leader David Mellen says Labour's huge majority after this year's local elections is 'pleasing' given the 'various issues' at the authority in recent years. Labour emerged triumphant after votes were counted on Friday for the Nottingham City Council election.
Labour now has 51 of the 55 seats available on Nottingham City Council, meaning just four councillors provide an opposition at the authority. Following Labour's victory, the Nottingham party immediately held a meeting to determine who would hold key roles.It's understood that there was a leadership challenge against David Mellen, but he was eventually re-elected as leader. Councillor Audra Wynter, meanwhile, replaces Adele Williams as the deputy leader.
"To be given the trust of the people of Nottingham is an honour and responsibility, and we will represent everybody whether they voted for us, whether they didn't vote for us, of if they were excluded from voting from the Government's new rules on photo ID, of they didn't vote at all - we will represent them all and we will listen."
Speaking about this particular pledge, Councillor Mellen said: "It's a manifesto between now and 2027, we cannot afford to restore the fountains quite yet. The problem is that it's not safe at the moment, the electricity and the water supply are too close together.
