Tory changes announced

Senior Tory Opposition Councillors have confirmed that they have appointed a new Shadow Finance Councillor. Tim Crowley will take over from Terry Faulds who had himself recently replaced his predecessor.

To date Sutton’s Tory opposition have refused to prepare any kind of annual budget and hidden behind excuses that it isn’t their job to say what they would do with the borough.

I find this hard to understand. If they want local people to take them seriously they need to say what they stand for – but then their national Leader seems to be having a similar problem at present too - so perhaps it’s catching!

Let’s hope Councillor Crowley will take Sutton’s residents more seriously than his predecessors and let them know what his party stands for by preparing a budget for the council – but I won’t be holding my breath.
