| Lia Nici - stepping down from the council |
GRIMSBY MP Lia Nici has resigned from her position as a North East Lincolnshire councillor.
Even though she was elected as a Conservative MP in December 2019, Ms Nici continued as a member for Scartho ward.
Eyebrows were raised when, on top of her salary as MP, she continued to claim remuneration from the council - effectively being paid twice of the public purse for doing the same job.
However, with NELC's finances squeezed by the consequences of the pandemic, she decided to stop claiming in July last year.
It is likely that there will be a poll to fill the casual vacancy with voting on May 6.
