The leader of Warwickshire County Council is facing a vote of no confidence after opposition councillors tabled a motion questioning his conduct in office.

The Green Party group on the authority said it had formally submitted the motion against council leader George Finch. Group leader Jonathan Chilvers alleged Finch had ‘abused the office of leader’ and had repeatedly brought the county into disrepute.

Chilvers also criticised what he described as repeated attacks on council staff and partner organisations, as well as the use of the leadership role for political point scoring.

Finch, who became the country’s youngest council leader when he took the post, told the BBC the motion was ‘a political stunt’.
