It looks like Somerset may be going the way of Northants, a second Tory Council to ignominiously collapse as a result of the present Tory government's all out assault on local government. Meanwhile the man who designed this disaster, Eric Pickles, is being elevated to the House of Lords.
Possibly UK government would not be so riddled with examples of executive incompetence if the people in charge of these stupid decisions actually got punished for them.
Although I have to admit that Somerset has materially added to its own woes by freezing the Council Tax for six years, and thus digging away at its tax base, eroding its long term financial viability.
