A former Labour mayor of Rochdale has defected to the Liberal Democrats.
Councillor Mohammed Zaman confirmed his decision to cross the floor citing ‘in-fighting’ and splits within Labour ranks for his departure. It means the Lib Dems now have four members on the council.

The Labour group expressed its regret over Coun Zaman’s decision. A spokesman said: “We are very disappointed Councillor Zaman has left the Labour party after
