Labour councillors should be ashamed of their actions to date.

Now a new proposal is in – an offer of a wage protection package for 2 years followed by losing unto a quarter of their pay – some deal that is!! Needless to say Lib Dem councillors are once again challenging the shameful actions of the Labour-run council and its Labour councillors over this matter.
