Council group

At a meeting of the Neath Port Talbot council Liberal Democrat group today, it was decided that Cllr Keith Davies should continue as group leader, and that Cllr Des Sparkes should be his deputy for the coming year.

The recently distributed letter to Liberal Democrat councillors from David Laws, the Chief Secretary to the Treasury, was discussed and its message accepted. It was resolved to pay closer attention to proposed expenditure, both council and Welsh Assembly Government funded.

It was also agreed that council nominees to outside bodies were accountable to the appropriate scrutiny committees and that our members on them would seek and pass on information accordingly.
