Ipswich Labour Group Meeting

Attended the Ipswich Labour Group meeting tonight, I am one of the Party observers on the group and have always found them lively meetings with planty of differing views offered.
An important meeting this week as it is full council meeting on Wednesday when the Tories and their Lib Dem partners will bring in their budget and with it a rise in the rent and dividends that the bus company will have to pay the council.
Will be interesting to see how the Lib Dems behave, will they vote for the budget then support Labour in our motion that the Council should run the bus service for the good of the Ipswich people not just for profit.
Will be able to tell you later in the week how the vote went.

Hi Alasdair

I'm strictly neutral politically, but it's good to know Rushmere issues are being aired on the web, evn if it is in a partisan manner!!
