At the 2014 election the leader of the Conservative group on the council, David Monk, stood down as acouncillor, along with a Liberal Democrat formermayor Neil Taylor and Labour councillor Carole Gill.^[5] However the former Labour leader of the council, Marie Rimmer did defend her seat in West Park at the election, despite being selected as the Labour candidate forSt Helens South and Whiston at the2015 general election.^[5]
