The Liberal Democrats oppose the current version of Warrington's Local Plan being submitted for an 'Examination in Public'. At the Council meeting on Monday, the ruling Labour Group voted in favour and all opposition councillors voted against.
Local Liberal Democrats are calling for more collaboration and transparency on the Council, rather than conflict. The call was made during the debate on the Council's budget last Monday.
Last night's Council meeting to pass the budget for the coming year descended into farce.
The Liberal Democrats are proposing a £15 cost of living rebate to tens of thousands of council tax payers in bands A to D to soften the blow of the council tax increase. They will formally propose this at Monday's Budget Council meeting.
The Liberal Democrats are calling on the Council Leader to resign because he has allowed the reputation of a well-run Council to be destroyed.
The Council is facing major problems with its investments in Together Energy and Redwood Bank. These come on top of questions about investment in the HUT Group and the on-going failure to have the 2017/18 Accounts signed off, writes Liberal Democrat Finance Spokesperson, Cllr Ian Marks.
