Labour-run Council belatedly tries to distance itself from the Labour Government’s proposed planning reforms

Westminster Conservatives are delighted that the current Labour council has finally publicly agreed with the Conservative councillors’ position on Angela Rayner’s proposed planning reforms.

Westminster Conservatives pointed out that this is undemocratic and could undermine public trust in planning decisions back in March.
