What are HDC up to? - Sue Hodsell is correct when she has a go at the Conservative run HDC. Sue is right to point out that HDC is simply forcing costs onto Town Councils. The Conservatives are quick to trumpet to the low Council Tax rise (capped by the Government) but the £6.1 million of cuts is hidden away.
The Great Takeaway? - Jon Mountfort is right to point out what HDC is taking away from the residents. I disagree with his interpretation of the 1974 re-organisation of local government. All the UDCs and RDCs were merged so the land was not given away. What does need to happen is there needs to be an agreement between the District Council and the Town/Parish Councils as to who does what. HDC has burned it bridges with the Town/Parish Councils.
Why are they annoyed? - Julia Hayward is right to point out the St Neots Conservatives inability to call a by-election. Instead of blaming everyone else the Conservatives should take this on the chin. This seems to be the St Neots Conservatives way of blaming everyone else for their own mistakes.
