Coun Mitchell News Today

Labour councillors have criticised the ruling Ashfield Independents for raising the authority’s council tax for the year to the maximum allowed limit without need for a referendum.

A Hucknall councillor says Ashfield District Council has ‘kicked the can down the road’ after it failed to fully back a call to scrap a controversial plan that could see thousands of new homes built in Hucknall and, in the process, destroy swathes of the town’s green belt.
