You can only empty a cess pit one bucket at a time
I have been really saddened by the way that Labour and ex-Labour members have been trying to make a scapegoat of Liverpool’s Chief Executive, Tony Reeves, to cover up their own part in creating the worst council in the UK. … Continue reading
Answers to my Council Questions of 8 December – Stalled developments and lost cash feature
A little seen part of the work of a full council meeting is our ability to put questions to Cabinet Members for a written reply. Unfortunately, we cannot then ask a further question based on this reply as happens in … Continue reading
