With the resignation of current leader of the group and of Fenland District Council – John Clark, there will now be a closed election for a new leader of the group and probably leader of the Council on Thursday 8th February –
There is as usual positioning and ‘jockeying around’ but I am reliably informed that Cllr Chris Seaton is favourite at this moment in time, there appears to be one or two other hopefuls but we shall wait and see who is the eventual winner.
Cllr Seaton was elected in 2007 and was promoted under leader Alan Melton in 2010.
He is elected for the ward of Roman Bank Wisbech
He holds several positions and is currently the portfolio holder for finance
Odds on favourite – maybe – who knows –
