“LGA voices doubts as Pickles goes further than Casey recommends
A senior Local Government Association figure and one of the highest profile council leaders have broken a political consensus by questioning the “proportionality” of the removal of Rotherham MBC’s decision-making powers. “

It wasn’t a “Rotherham” LGA figure. It was Dennis Skinner, the LGA’s lead for sector led improvement – and employee of the LGA. Haven’t you read the piece that you linked to?

Thankyou RR for answering the question posed in the title of the post. Obviously I hadn’t read it or I wouldn’t have needed to ask the question. My most humble apologies for the rogue word “Rotherham” slipping in there. I could blame the predictive text function as I’ve used the word so many times recently. But I wouldn’t be so petty.
I replied to this yesterday but seems it’s not appeared so here it is again.
Thanks RR for your answer to my question in the post title. I obviously had not read the whole article or there would have been no reason for my question in the 1st place. I humbly apologise for the rogue word “Rotherham” appearing in the title. I could blame it on the predictive text function – but I wouldn’t be so petty 😉
