FORMER Plymouth City Council leader Richard Bingley is to step down as a councillor next year but said his decision has nothing to do with the row over Armada Way’s trees.
Cllr Bingley said he decided not to fight for his Southway seat in 2024 when he found it difficult to carry out his council responsibilities alongside his day job, working as a security expert.
Cllr Bingley said he has informed people in the Tory party and council of his decision. He told The Herald: “I’m not running again. I’m just too busy.”
Cllr Bingley only moved to Plymouth, with his wife, in 2020 and was elected as Conservative member for Southway the following year. He became leader in 2022 and resigned almost exactly a year later, in March 2023, after the furore over the £12.7m regeneration of Armada Way.
