No "Coalition" at County Hall
June 23, 2010 3:09 PM
The leading Tory group at County Hall will no doubt be expecting Lib Dem support for new in-year budget cuts that they intend to announce next month, but there is no sign of any give and take on their part in return.
The Lib Dems learned at yesterday's Cabinet meeting that it is enough for a Tory councillor to express a specific interest in an activity or service to be announced its 'champion', but no suggestions will be entertained from other groups, nor will any 'champions' be appointed from other groups, no matter what their expertise.Motorcyclists are the latest group to have their own champion. We have no quarrel with that, but all Lib Dem suggestions for possible 'champions' - for Pedestrians, Disabled people, Children excluded from school, Libraries - were brushed aside as irrelevancies. So much for valuing everyone's contribution!
