Councillor John Smith was a LibDem councillor for most of his political career.
Despite the seriousness of these cases, there has been no public indication that Stockport Council conducted an internal inquiry or review into the circumstances surrounding these allegations. This lack of transparency has led to questions about the council’s commitment to safeguarding and its procedures for handling such serious matters.
The absence of an inquiry raises concerns about accountability and the measures in place to protect the public and uphold the integrity of elected officials. As these cases continue to resonate within the community, there is a growing call for a comprehensive review of Stockport Council’s policies and actions in response to serious allegations involving its members.
The Romiley Gazette will continue to monitor this situation and provide updates as more information becomes available.
