Urgent Meeting Called to Consider Removal of Rutland County Council Leader Gale Waller (Liberal Democrat)
A significant development is unfolding within Rutland County Council as a Special Meeting has been officially called for Tuesday, August 5, 2025, at 7:00 PM. The sole purpose of this extraordinary gathering is to deliberate on a motion to remove the current Leader from office.
The meeting was requisitioned by seven Rutland County Councillors: L Stephenson, K Payne, M Farina, K Heckels, D Wilby, G Clifton, and A Dinsmore. Their collective action meets the constitutional requirement for calling such a meeting, as outlined in Part 2, Article II 4, b of the Council’s constitution.
The motion, simply stated as “To resolve to remove the Leader from office,” indicates a clear challenge to the current leadership. Should the Council vote to pass this resolution, the constitution mandates that a new Executive Leader must be elected. This election could take place either during the very same meeting where the current Leader is removed, or at a subsequent meeting.
This special session marks a pivotal moment for Rutland County Council, as it faces a direct challenge to its leadership. The outcome of the vote on August 5th will undoubtedly shape the future direction of the council and its executive functions.
