Labour Council's Forward Plan is backwards

Blackburn with Darwen Council's Forward Plan has been criticised for including items that are out of date. Liberal Democrat Group Leader, Cllr david Foster explained, "The Forward Plan is supposed to tell citizens what key decisions are going to be made and when the Council is likely to make them. The latest plan published this month contains items which say the decision should have been taken last year. Almost a third of the items are out of date. Obviously the Councillors running these portfolios do not take this seriously and are not interested in keeping citizens informed. I have pointed this out to the Council and expect a big improvement next month.
