Lord Kuldip Sahota, who went from a factory shop floor to the House of Lords has confirmed he will not be standing in next month's council elections.
Lord Sahota has decided not to stand at next month's Telford & Wrekin Council elections.
Lord Sahota, 71, who also served as leader of the council from 2011 to 2016, said that he understood the importance of the work of councillors, and the dedication needed to serve the community. "After a few months I realised I am there four days a week, and I thought I can't continue as a councillor because I am an active member of the House of Lords, I take part in debates and vote, I am on a Labour whip, and realised it was too much so I told the local Labour Party that I would like to stand down.
He also hailed the huge efforts to rebuild the majority of the town's secondary schools – and to refurbish the one that was not rebuilt - as well as the project to transform Southwater into a major destination.
