We are sad to hear via the local press that Cllr Laura Booth has decided to leave the Labour Party.
 
As a Labour Group we have been unwavering in our support for Laura and proud to support her in her career ambitions. As well as a valued Labour councillor and activist, Laura was the Labour Group Chair, Vice Chair of the Local Campaign Forum, Shadow Executive Member and Group Spokesperson as well as being recently elected as Labour PPC for the Hazel Grove constituency and National Chair of Disability Labour.
 
We strongly refute her claims and are disappointed that she did not talk to us first.
 
We wish her well in her future endeavours.
