“Isn't it time we had a change in local politics whereby a Parish or District Councillor cannot stand for District Councillor at the same time and vice versa?
There is an undoubted conflict of interest on many issues not least in planning and highway matters. This would also mean more people could get involved as it it would free up places where currently one person is holding two and in some cases three positions.
To my mine a change in the law is needed and is long overdue.”
