Following a meeting of the Medway Conservatives leadership team this afternoon, Councillor Adrian Gulvin, Leader of the Medway Conservatives, said the following:
Last night Cllr Elizabeth Turpin informed us of her decision to resign the Conservative Group whip.
This Conservative Group is committed to supporting Rishi Sunak's government on delivery of his plan and holding the Medway Labour and Co-Operative Group to account for their leadership of Medway Council.
We wish Councillor Turpin all the best.
