Councillor who failed to attend meetings no longer on Colchester Council
A COUNCILLOR who failed to attend any council meetings since December has been removed from the council.
Mark Cable, who represented Dedham and Langham, last attended a full council meeting on December 11.
The Local Government Act 1972 states that if a councillor fails to attend any meetings of his or her council throughout a period of six consecutive months they shall cease to be a member of that council.
