Lib Dem victory in Parliament
While the struggle goes on to retain the District Councils, the Lib Dem Parliamentary team won a victory in Parliament today when the Government backed down on one of their madder proposals.
The Local Government Bill was due to make provision for directly elected Council Executives which most councillors across all parties think this is a bonkers idea.
Following a campaign by the Lib Dems in the Lords, the Upper House agreed and threw this out.
Today the Government spared themselves further ridicule and backed off this daft idea.
