Welsh Secretary accuses Welsh Government of "tying the hands" of councils - Wales Online

Welsh Secretary accuses Welsh Government of "tying the hands" of councils - Wales Online: "He said: “[All] too often the Welsh Government seems more intent on increasing the regulatory burdens on councils and businesses rather than reducing them. The very opposite of empowerment. And collaboration – in Welsh Government terms – means telling local authorities what to do, rather than communities and councils working together."

If he thinks local authorities are a solution to anything then he needs to look a bit closer. I hope the WG scraps them all.
