STATEMENT WEDNESDAY 22ND MAY 2019 Its disappointing that a greatly diminished Labour Group of nine members wrongly believe they are still in a position to run this council despite the clear message from the public at the ballot box. The Independent Union, Conservative VAPP coalition have been faithful to the promise in sharing out Chair and Vicechair positions fairly and constitutionally right across the political spectrum, including offers to the Labour Party. Unfortunately, the Labour Party unable to realise that they were no longer in power attempted to make unreasonable demands that would have given them an unacceptable control of policy moving forward. We do not intend to make comments on individual councillors as we do not believe its helpful or productive, instead, we ask that all groups and council members stop with the petty party politics and work together to deal with the difficult times ahead in the best interests of our town.
