A Lichfield Labour councillor has warned residents that voting for candidates from “minority parties like the Lib Dems and Greens” could hand victory to the Conservatives.
Councillors have been told to focus on scrutiny rather than political rivalries after a debate around the decision to spend £300,000 on a car park refurbishment in the wake of the Friarsgate failure.
A former Tory councillor says effective change cannot be delivered in Lichfield and Burntwood if people continue to vote for the current controlling group.
Two members of a working group created to find a way forward for land left empty by the failure of Friarsgate have criticised the Conservatives for keeping crucial information behind closed doors.
A Labour candidate at the forthcoming local elections has called on Staffordshire Police to justify a decision to hike council tax while closing front desk services in Lichfield city centre.
