Petition launched to force disgraced Wigan councillor to resign

Angry residents have launched a petition calling on disgraced Wigan councillor, Robert Bleakley, to resign.

Bleakley has been caught with porn on his council laptop, caught altering an email to try and get council officers sacked, caught sending abuse text messages from his council mobile and caught running up a £2,400 phone bill calling sex chat lines on his council mobile.

Bleakley resigned from the Lib Dems in the new year after he was caught with porn on his laptop but has repeatedly refused to resign as a councillor as he's gone from one scandal to the next.
