Leader and founder of the West Suffolk Independents Party, Simon Cole, has left his party to join the Conservative Group, increasing their total to 19 out of 27 seats.
Councillor Cole, who represents Exning Ward and is also chairman of the council's Overview and Scrutiny Committee said, "I have always been a Conservative at heart and have been an enthusiastic supporter of the Conservative administration's policies of investment, growth and their efficiency agenda. I now want to play a more active role by doing it from within the party."
