Dan Harrison has resigned as a Reform council leader after recorded remarks about council staff were leaked. In the comments, Harrison described 76 council solicitors as “incompetent” and said they would be made redundant.
The remarks referred to the council’s solicitors and included a plan for all 76 to lose their jobs. The recording became public before Harrison’s departure from his leadership role.
No further details have been provided about when or where the recording was made, the council involved, or whether any redundancy process had formally begun. The supplied information also does not include a statement from Harrison or the council on his resignation.
Harrison’s decision to step down follows the disclosure of the comments, with the latest known position being that he is no longer serving as the council leader.
