Cameron Anderson, left, who has been selected as Reform UK group leader on Buckinghamshire Council, alongside Reform UK party leader Nigel FarageIt was narrowly defeated by just four votes – 45 to 41.
After Councillor Anderson made the remarks during the meeting one Councillor called out the comments as “seriously disrespectful.”Opposition members went on to argue that the community board system itself was flawed.
Councillor Steve Bowles, cabinet member for communities, insisted boards already worked collaboratively and that leadership appointments should remain in the hands of the council leader.
