Dorchester & District Labour Party are supporting the Public First Group’s call to scrap Cabinet leadership at West Dorset District Council.
The Labour Party will be ensuring that disaffected West Dorset residents will be able to sign a copy of the Public First Group petition at their Wednesday stall, based in the shopping area of Dorchester’s town centre.
Lee Rhodes said, “I have attended the public meetings held by the Public First Group. I have heard the frustrations expressed by local residents about the current system. If people are so angry that they are holding local meetings and starting a petition, then the council should listen and take action.”
Claudia Sorin added “A Committee system would allow full cross party scrutiny of policy and recommendations of the committees. We believe this change would lead to better local politics and decision making. “
