At the risk of getting political I have commented elsewhere about how this country is heading towards Gordongrad. |
I'm pleased you spotted the 'risk' -- Poole council is run by Conservatives (the 'law'n'order brigade) with support from privacy-loving LibDems. Not a single Gordongrad-ite in sight!
Let's keep party politics out of the discussions, eh?
Poole is a Unitary Council with 42 Councillors elected across 16 wards in the Borough. Elections take place every 4 years, the last local elections were in May 2007.
Poole's Council Leader is Councillor Brian Leverett who also leads the Cabinet. The Council is made up of 25 Conservative and 17 Liberal Democrat councillors.
