"The Leader of the Council's Independent Group John Wood said that the Independents had been consulted on these changes and were pleased with the progress made by the Leader of the Council."
The Indie group deputy leader, Mike Clayton, has just read a short statement to today's full council meeting saying his group has yet to be convinced of the need for CSMs and had therefore not (yet) appointed anyone to fill the vacant education portfolio.
Perhaps I'm not the only one who thinks the Indies had been bought rather cheaply. And councillor Fiona Ferguson, narrowly defeated in the Conservative group election for leader, has just said she does not support council leader Alec Robertson on this issue. And by a secret vote of 55-35, the council votes against paying CSMs.
The plot thickens...
