Thinking about the Forward Plan Committee on Thursday, I am struck at how confused the Liberal Democrats are on Environmental policy now. I pointed out before that their position seems to have flipped from the one they have had for several years. At the Thursday meeting, Cllr Daniel Brown was ruled out of order in trying to oppose our emissions based permit scheme by the Chair (His fellow Liberal Democrat Cllr James Allie). I don't think the Chair really has the power to do that, and I am assuming that Allie didn't want to vote on it because the Liberal Democrats are split on the issue.
Likewise, they don't seem willing to support our position on waste management changes but they they equally don't seem to have the courage to propose anything else.
It seems that their leadership simply doesn't know what to do.
