We're calling on Cllr Tim Roca MP to resign

Map showing Macclesfield

After living and working in Macclesfield for over eighteen months—nearly 200 miles from Westminster—Cllr Roca has been elected a Labour MP for the constituency. 

Locally we’ve been losing out. Councillors are supposed to represent their local area – and there is no way someone who is living and working in Macclesfield can be representing our interests too. It’s simply not right. 

We deserve councillors who live and work in Westminster, who spend their time here and do not focus on a political career at the other end of the country.

Bearing in mind his new job has a salary of £91,346 and expenses of over £200,000 a year, we say that Cllr Roca should stand down from the Council now and should not claim any Councillor allowances.

Councilor Tim Roca MP should resign
