A long-serving Lancashire county councillor has become the new leader of the opposition Labour group on the authority – and he says his sole focus is taking control of County Hall from the Tories at next year’s local elections.
“I think it’d be different if you took over a group in year one than it is if you take over at the beginning of year four. The last time Labour was in control – between 2013 and 2017 – County Cllr Tomlinson was the cabinet member for children, schools and families. It was the second time he had held a cabinet post on the authority, having been handed the now defunct sustainable development portfolio back in the 2000s.
“, I have tasked our highways spokesperson Kim Snape to go away over the next year and look at innovative solutions to the problem.
