The Conservatives at County Hall are always telling us how open and transparent they are. Anyone who was at the Full County Council meeting last Thursday will know just how hollow this claim is.

When it came to the time to consider a Liberal Democrat proposal to publish on the County Council’s website details of Freedom of Information requests received the Conservatives applied the principles they hold dear and roundly rejected the proposal.

Whilst nationally the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats are working together for the good of the country, here in Northamptonshire, we still have the same old Conservatives with the same old attitudes.
