Kirkby Mayor Joe Coughlan resigns


On Tuesday following the Town Council meeting the previous night Mayor Joe Coughlan tendered his resignation as a protest at the decision made by a majority of the councillors to refurbish the old library for use as offices for the Town Council and community meeting room. (Read the Agenda for this meeting)

The Mayor has explained his reasons in an interview with the Gazette & Herald and will post an interview here on his return from holiday.

Read a recent article about the library in the Gazette & Herald.

Over the next few weeks this issue will be covered in detail on this blog as all sides will be invited to post interviews. Residents of the town are welcome to post their comments on the blog either by clicking on the comments box underneath posts or by contacting the blog editor if they would like to post a video interview.

Street interviews will also be carried out and posted on the site in the days ahead.
