Cllr Ivis Williams, one of two Ward Councillors for Shooters Hill who spoke up for local residents protesting against the sale of council land in her ward, has quit after being threatened with a six-week suspension reports The Greenwich Wire.

Ivis had been a councillor since 2018, spoke out in March about the disposal of the Greenwich Equestrian Centre, as well as the sale of Green Garth, a bungalow that the operators of the Shrewsbury House Community Centre (home of Maritime Radio) had hoped to take over. 

Local residents and groups are furious at the way she has been treated.
