Cumbria County Council Labour Group Position Statement following last week’s County Council elections

By Cumbria Labour ⋅ June 9, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

The Labour Group recognises that on 4th June no single political Group was given a mandate to run the Council.

Last September following the collapse of the Conservative/Liberal Democrat administration, the Labour Group called for a politically proportionate Cabinet.

In the event the Labour Group took up their entitlement of five seats and ran the Council as a minority administration for nine months, whilst the other two groups refused to participate.

Since last September both the Conservative and Liberal Democrat groups have new leaders and a significant number of new councillors and we hope this will enable them to reconsider their position.

Cllr Boaden said today:

“It is utterly appalling that the Council would engage in any discussions about developing Clark’s Field. Our own Local Plan identifies it for leisure purposes, which is designed to protect it from any inappropriate and unwanted development.
