At the County Council meeting last Thursday, Martin Vye, deputy leader of the Liberal Democrat Group expressed his concern about Councillor's ability to check how the administration is using taxpayer's money, and running services from them.
Martin Vye said:
"The new arrangements that the Conservative administration are bringing in are deeply flawed. The committees which are there to call them to account should be independent, so that searching questions can be asked and any waste or ineffectiveness exposed.
"Under the new arrangements important watchdog committees will be run by the very Cabinet Members we are supposed to be checking. Isn't this a recipe for a situation where awkward facts can be swiftly swept under the carpet? This is not in the interest of the people we serve."
