This is good from the Labour Party.
Get rid of 20% of Civil Servants - nobody would notice the difference.
Why Labour ministers are starting to agree with Tory criticism of the civil service
The government’s aims are bold, but they want to galvanise the civil servants whoimplement the government’s agenda.www.bbc.co.uk
I sort of agree, in that I think by and large people vote along party lines because the don't have the motivation to do anything else. Specific local circumstances often do provide that motivation to vote independent though, and I'd be troubled to see that option lost.
I vote for my local Tory councillor as he works tirelessly for his constituents, when we moved in 8 years ago we got a welcome to your new home card and a visit, Xmas handwritten card every year and when my mum passed he came round to see if I was OK, he always responds to questions and tells you the right department to contact.
Any government in charge that should be nailed on
Like the people on LDC?This is very dangerous.

Planning reforms will end development chaos, says Angela Rayner

They were also overruled by national government because there was a greater good involved.
Correct - I'm very well aware of the planning process.
Thought he overruled them and approved himself.
That being so, it means every planning decision will be decided by Angela Rayner regardless of anyone else thinks?
That's not worrying at all, is it?
