Councillor to be removed from committeespublished at 17:36 British Summer Time 27 July 2016
A councillor is to be removed from the committees he sits on following concerns over remarks he made on social media.
Councillor Glenn Williams resigned from the Conservative party after comments in which he said he didn't believe in multiculturalism and that politician Enoch Powell was a "personal hero".
He's now an independent councillor for the Bablake ward.
An extraordinary meeting of the full council is to take place next Wednesday at which Mr Williams will be asked to resign his seat.
He's also going to be removed from the planning and health and scrutiny committees.
Mr Williams has so far not responded to any calls for a comment about the meeting but earlier said he intended to remain a councillor for Bablake until the next election in 2020.

Read MoreWarning that Pokemon Go putting people at riskpublished at 15:28 British Summer Time 27 July 2016
People enjoying the Pokemon Go craze are being urged not to put themselves at risk near railway lines.
Network Rail says people using the game are going too close to the tracks.
The warning comes as figures show the number of trespassing incidents on the railways in the West Midlands has gone up by 13 percent in the last year.
Quote MessageThe key to this really is with parents taking the time to sit down with their children and explain the dangers of the railway and to make sure their children when they say they're going out to play are in fact going out to play only and not trespassing on the track

The Canary boys took the spoils with Josh scoring in Norwich's 3-0 win.
