Will Peter Butlin be the next conservative councillor to defect?
30 Oct 2015
Cllr Howard Roberts has become an independent. Cllr David Ellis has become an independent. Will Cllr Peter Butlin be next?
Speaking in the council chamber on Tuesday - see http://rugby.lib.dm/a910sR - Cllr Peter Butlin said that there is "nothing worse than not having somewhere you can afford to live".
The conservative government is reducing the supply of affordable housing by forcing housing associations to sell their houses and also forcing local authorities to sell their most desirable houses too - see http://rugby.lib.dm/a610tb .
How long will it be before Peter Butlin concludes that he should stop supporting a government which is making it so difficult for people to find somewhere they can afford to live?
