Brian Coleman forced out of post in no-confidence vote

By | Wed 17th March 2010 - 3:20 pm

So reports Adam Bienkov:

Boris Johnson’s fire chief Brian Coleman has lost his position as Chairman of a National fire board after increasing concerns about his behaviour.

The LGA confirmed to me this morning that Brian is no longer Chairman of the National Organisation of Employers of Local Authority Fire & Rescue Services.

A spokesman said that Brian had lost his position but would not confirm the exact date or circumstances of his departure.

Brian himself has also failed to respond to my questions about this.

However sources within the National Joint Council tell me that Brian’s chairmanship was recently the subject of a vote of no confidence.

They say that there have been “major grumblings” about his behaviour at meetings, and that complaints have been made by members.
