Last nights Telford & Wrekin full council meeting produced the usual rowdy barracking that we have come to expect from the Labour group. It was agreed unanimously NOT to merge with Shropshire Council but the Labour group indicated that they did not want closer working or job sharing which would lead to big savings.
On this point they are diverging from national Labour policy - Ed Balls himself recommends that job sharing between councils is the way in the future to save £millions.
