South Holland District Council leader Gary Porter has dismissed suggestions that he is ready to leave his role.
Coun Porter (pictured), who is also vice-chairman of the Local Government Association and chairman of the Conservative Councillors’ Association, was rumoured to be lined up for a more advanced political position.
However, the leader of the Tory-controlled local authority and St Mary’s ward member says he intends to stand again.
He said: “I’ve been selected again as a candidate and, if we win the election, I would like to remain as leader because I enjoy it, but that decision is in the gift of the group.”
He joked: “I too have heard that I’m supposed to be moving on but I’d like to know what to first!”
