Rotherham Council Cabinet quits over child sex report
ROTHERHAM Borough Council’s whole Cabinet has quit in the wake of a new damning child sex abuse report.
In a statement following inspector Louise Casey’s report into the authority, a spokewoman said: “The author clearly has no confidence in the current political leadership of Rotherham Borough Council.
“As a Cabinet, whatever the details, as the political leadership of the council we must take responsibility.
“We therefore announce our intention to resign our positions as soon as transitional arrangements can be put in place.”
Ms Casey’s report said the council was not “fit for purpose”.
