The Liberal Democrat and Green Alliance Group, who are the main Opposition group on Uttlesford DC, strongly condemned the budget proposed by the R4U administration as a "pre-election make believe budget" which will lead to the need for an emergency budget after the May local elections.
Statement by Leader of the Uttlesford Liberal Democrat and Green Alliance Group
At a specially convened meeting of the full council on Thursday, October 13, Uttlesford District councillors discussed two major failures of the Council that had resulted in wasteful expenditure in excess of £5 million! These included an avoidable costs penalty of £ 2.1 million payable to Stansted Airport for acting unreasonably during the planning appeal and £3.5m spent on the stalled local plan!
Further delay to Local Plan will prolong "developers assault" on Uttlesford district.
