Is Cllr Farrer resigning from the Conservatives?

In the News and Crier on 18th February 2010, Cllr Farrer said the following:
"...he would consider going Independent if the 3 hours scheme did not go through.".

So the 3 hours scheme hasn't gone through. So Cllr Farrer, the question for you is: Are you going independent?


Some how I don't think Cllr Farrer will go "Independent" as he would have to lose his committee seats on District and County. He would be an outcast. On the otherhand if he doesn't go Independent then Farrer will have made a threat of resignation without backing up his threat.
