Allegation of rule breach
Thursday 7th June 2007, 11:37AM BST.
The controversial new Mayor of Ludlow could be stripped of office after being reported for allegedly breaching election rules.
Councillor Marie Glaze’s election as Mayor of Ludlow Town Council has already sparked three resignations by former councillors.
Ludlow Town Council clerk Paul Russell also offered his verbal resignation, although Councillor Glaze says he has since rescinded that.
However, now Mrs Glaze faces an investigation following an allegation that she breached rules governing elections for the post of Mayor by soliciting support prior to the election.
The allegation was made by Councillor Rosanna Taylor-Smith, a member of South Shropshire District Council who resigned from Ludlow Town Council two weeks ago.
Today Councillor Glaze said: “I asked people to support me.
“But there’s nothing wrong in that. Everybody does it.”
