Reform councillor who said she ‘received no training’ sent resignation letter to wrong council

Electoral Commission rules stated a councillor cannot withdraw their resignation once it has been received by the authority.
“In this instance, a letter was hand-delivered to an incorrect address at Kidsgrove Town Council.

She didn't send it to the wrong council. She hand delivered it!

We live in the information age, receiving a constant bombardment of information. Consequently we all miss details here and there, there's just so much to take in and process all day every day, so there's no need to feel shame. That's why we're on a social site discussing the information, so that collectively we can get more from these articles than we would do in isolated reading.
Enjoy the rest of your day / night :)
You too, thanks!
