A South Kesteven District Council councillor has announced their departure from the Grantham Independent Group.
Councillor Charmaine Morgan said she left the group due to a “difference of opinion”, and has since joined the Democratic Independents.
The representative from Grantham St Vincent’s ward said she was welcomed to the group with “open arms”.
She added: “Upon reflection, I think it’s the best thing that could have happened because I don’t think that my values align with others in that group.
“I stick to my values and I’m prepared to stand by them.
“I think this is for the greater good but I know I’m strong enough to stand on my own if I have to.”
Mrs Morgan previously aligned with Labour for around 30 years but parted ways in 2022, saying she felt the line between them and the Conservatives was becoming blurred.
In July last year, she played a part in forming the Alliance SK group alongside councillors Virginia Moran, Ashley Baxter and Phil Dilks.
However, a few months later, she chose to leave the group due to a disagreement over the cost of Grantham market.
Councillor Baxter characterised Councillor Morgan’s latest departure as an “issue of personality.”

Carole Glover’s transformation into a Brahma Kumaris over 25 years ago marked a pivotal turn in her life, providing clarity on her previous life experiences.
The spiritual movement was founded in the 1930s by Dada Lekhraj Kripalani, a visionary Indian businessman, also known by the name of Prajapita Brahma Baba. He then passed it over to a trust administered by a group of women who have run it ever since. After experiencing a series of visions in 1936, he was inspired to create a school where the “principles and practices of a virtuous and meditative life could be taught.”
