Councillors of all parties except Labour supported a cost effective proposal I put forward to move the Tourist Information Centre into the Town Hall entrance instead of shutting it down completely.

We proved that it did not need to cost very much, and in fact could end up being self sustaining. Labour tried to blame government cuts, it simply didn’t wash with us or i expect with the 7124 people who signed the petition to try and keep open the existing centre.

Labour is systematically ripping the heart out of our great city. If incompetence were a criminal offence the Labour cabinet would have been locked up by now. We have simply got to remove them from office before they completely destroy our County.
