On Thursday 28th the council budget was set. The Labour Party put forward a number of amendments in order to protect community services, promote growth and provide the services residents have told us they need. I make no apology for introducing the Minister Mr Pickles to the debate I just wish instead a Conservative member who had brought him up.
