The full council papers have just been released for the council AGM on 8^th May 2008 and with the new rules set out by government that council will need to vote out an administration rather than vote one.

This means that the Tory Minority administration would have to resign or be voted out by council which is highly unlikely as they are being propped up by the three independent councillors on the authority which gives them an overall majority. Labour last year voted for the Minority Tory administration it only remains to be seen what they will do this year.

So what can we expect next year more stealth taxes as we have had this year and Bath again paying for the extravagance of the controlling Wansdyke Conservative group.
