ravel for decision making by having an ‘all powerful decision making Leader and Cabinet’ people are concerned that the public are being completely left out of the ability to harvest information and agree or disagree with their Council’s adopted policies that apply both now and into the future.

Scott Dickinson is concerned that no scheduled meetings to scrutinise the ‘new’ forward plan have been called since the election on May 1st and that the Conservative Cabinet may have top-sliced finance even further away from areas of need as paying the debt on their borrowing since 2017 is now beginning to catch up with them.
