Three Reform Party councillors have resigned from the group to sit as independents, marking a significant shift in local political alignment. The move comes amid growing tensions within the party over policy directions and internal disagreements. Their decision could influence upcoming council decisions and potentially weaken Reform’s influence in the area. The councillors cited a desire for greater autonomy in representing their constituents as the reason for their departure.
