TWO councillors have quit Ryde Town Council in the wake of Friday's meeting, when no confidence motions in the mayor, deputy and five other members were thrown out.
Cllrs Julian Critchley and Jim Moody, both of whom signed a letter calling for the meeting, have resigned today (Monday), with immediate effect.
They were among seven councillors who called for the meeting, citing a lack of transparency, inclusion and respect shown towards colleagues after two clerks left the council.
The signatories said a town council panel negotiated the clerks' terms without the proper authority.
At the meeting, councillors who proposed the no confidence motions called for an investigation into the proceedings, which the mayor, Cllr Michael Lilley, agreed to.
Cllr Lilley also said he had filed complaints against some of his fellow councillors, claiming they had breached the code of conduct, although he did not say who.
