Calling it progressive is a complete misnomer. It's anti progressive if anything.

Are Costa still open for delivery as they'll likely need it?

Playground politics at the a**e end of local bureaucracy. Hope the dorks enjoy their late night to decide who rules over bin day.

I watched the last 10 mins and Mr M is a very very unhappy man.. .
If they don't sort it out, central government take over planning responsibilities.

And I suspect the 'unelected CEO' isn't particularly happy about it as well if it is like the ones I had dealings with.

Can someone explain what is happening and how this affects the stadium?

Councillor Holland was talking about "suspending the guillotine" (extending the cut off time of 10pm) and noticed that Mr Neutral didn't look happy. He then said "Councillor Middleton looks like he wants to guillotine the heads off people and drink their blood, or whatever the vegan alternative is!!"

Middleton kept calling for him to withdraw the comment but it was ignored by Councillor Holland and the chair leaving him sulking for ages until he got a reluctant apology.

It appears that he is seen as a joke by his peers as much as the rest of us!

There is no outright control of CDC, with Tories having 20 councillors, Labour 12, Lib Dems 10, Greens 3 and 3 Independent.

They were looking at approving a minority Tory controlled council or to find a way to get a majority coalition consisting of Labour, Lib Dems and Greens.

However, the Labour leader said that they wouldn't work with Lib Dems/Greens due to dodgy deals prior to the election. (We know that the Libs and Greens were working together despite party leaders criticising Libs not contesting every seat, and we know how snakey Middleton is!)

It's difficult to know exactly how this affects us at the moment. Tories nationally have spoken about protecting the Green Belt, but locally they are known to be (generally) supportive if the stadium. Labour nationally are much more open to house building (and wider development) as long as there's a balance with the greater countryside. Locally there's some support for the stadium. Both would hopefully be in favour of the stadium development on balance.

Lib Dems and Green are the self titled (non) progressive alliance. There's a mixed view nationally and locally, where Layla Moran spoke on QT about the need to build more houses whilst rejecting these houses if they're in her constituency. And we know that Middleton and Mawson are against from the Greens.

A minority Tory council working alongside some genuinely progressive opposition councillors would likely be more beneficial than a mish mash coalition that includes a handful of those who are strongly opposed to the stadium. But it's still a bit messy and we may well need to continue to press those who represent us across the whole county to back this project regardless of which party the represent.

Ian Middleton? Lacking a sense of humour?

Nooooo waaaaayyyy!?

From reading Twitter it sounds as though the national Labour party rejected the coalition, as there was a Green councillor on the executive that they did not approve of. I wonder who it was and why they were not wanting to support that person taking up an executive role? What a mystery...

Try again next week.

It probably took about five minutes of looking at Councillor Neutral's twitter feed and they concluded "f**k that!"

As a CDC resident resident it looks like a Conservative/Labour coalition would most accurately reflect what the majority voted for looking at those figures.

The greens have 3 councillors, at least one of them is a fruit loop (hello Ian) so the people of Cherwell certainly didn’t vote for the Lib Dem’s to join with them and let them have a hugely disproportional say in local politics.

The Liberal Democrat’s will do anything to get into power, any politician/party willing to align themselves with councillor neutral is hardly trustworthy themselves.
