The deputy leader of Reform UK-controlled Worcestershire County Council has resigned after just three months in the job.
Cllr David Taylor will reportedly remain a member of the cabinet, with Cllr Rob Wharton filling in as deputy on a temporary basis.
Council leader Joanne Monk told the BBC that Taylor had ‘made the decision to step down as deputy leader’.
She added: ‘David will continue to be a part of the leadership team in his role as cabinet member for One Worcestershire which covers local government reorganisation.’
Local Conservative leader Adam Kent said: ‘Reform promised strong leadership – instead, residents are being subjected to civil war in their ranks, resignations, and bitter infighting.’
