The Independents now fed up with Cutts

The second hand car dealing tactics which I highlighted here and secured Richard the Mason Jackson sufficient votes to pull out of the tram have now been exposed. If you remember lots of new buses throughout the County were promised in a triple or quadruple accounting exercise which forced an apology from the ex-second hand car dealer (see here).

However, no comments came from the Independents and one of them even defected, so the buzz around County Hall was simply that they're a pushover with one senior Tory being overheard saying "like putty in our hands".

But everyone has a breaking point and the County not intervening in the removal of a bus from Eastwood (for Selston) to the QMC has proved the final straw. This is completely contrary to what Jackson promised before the crucial tram vote. The Independents, once bitten twice shy will not now be supporting the budget Cutts, read about it here.
