Standards Board confirm that Mayor-Elect has a case to answer
'Mayor-Elect', Councillor Robin Parker, will be investigated after trying to use his influence as a Councillor to get Jean Ashworth sacked from her job at Rochdale Infirmary. The complaint to the Standards Board related to a series of emails that Councillor Parker sent to health bosses demanding that Councillor Ashworth be disciplined. If the complaint is upheld, Councillor Parker could become the first Mayor ever to be removed from office by the Standard's Board.
