Steve Holmes, a Conservative councillor on Dacorum borough council (Woodhall Farm ward) and on Hertfordshire county council (Hemel Hempstead Town division) has resigned. He was cabinet member for planning and regeneration on Dacorum.
I have been told the reason but it's not in the public domain yet.
