A year of achievement- A Promise of More
Mon 12th May 2008
A year since the Liberal Democrats took control of Northampton has been described as a year of solid achievement by Leader Cllr. Tony Woods "We inherited from the Tories a council in a mess" said Tony Woods. "A year ago Government inspectors had rated the council as one of the worst in the country, with weak political leadership, finances in a mess and failure to deliver services people have a right to expect. We said that turning the council round would take time and some difficult decisions. So it has been, but real improvements in the council's services to the public have been achieved."
