Chair and Vice Chair of Crawley Conservatives defects to UKIP

The Chairman and Deputy Chairman of Crawley Conservatives and a Conservative Councillor's wife have defected to UKIP today.

Lee Gilroy and Cllr Karl Williamson have both been under fire within their association culminating in a vote of no confidence at a meeting a week and a half ago.  Both refused to bow to pressure over what they maintain are false claims of bullying but on reflection decided they had both had enough of the Tories and resigned.

Another former Conservative councillor, Ali Burke, has also joined UKIP.  Burke is married to Conservative councillor, Lee Burke.
