Changes 2010–2011

Labour councillor Anne Graham joined the Liberal Democrat group in February 2011, bringing them to 36 Councillors out of 63. On 2 February 2011, Councillors David White, Roy Driver and Anne Graham all resigned from the Liberal Democrat Group. All three cited unhappiness with the national party's involvement with a "Tory-led" government. They formed an Independent Left Group on the Council, whilst awaiting the result of membership applications to the Labour Party, and subsequently joined the Labour Group after the 2011 elections. Driver was not selected for a seat in the May 2011 elections, but unsuccessfully contested Bredbury and Woodley for Labour in May 2012. He was eventually elected as councillor for Reddish North in 2015.
