@Archidamus You wouldn't be a Lib Dem activist would you, by any chance? Let's see what happens, shall we. You know what students (and voters) do, don't you? Yep, that's right, they vote with their feet. Would I want a £40,000 debt or so on leaving univeristy (3x £9,000 tution fees plus student loans for living costs etc) or a lesser debt if I could study abroad. Hmm........ No brainer really. ...

Yes, you are correct. Despite the Lib Dems now having the majority cllrs on the council as a whole, on the Developement Control Committe the Tories have a majority of one. However, there are 4 Independent Cllrs on this committee and its Chair is a Lib Dem. I imagine the Chair would have a casting vote in the event of a tie. Total of 25 councillors on TDC Development Control Committee = 11 tory, ...
Just what is it about politicians and their inability to give a straight answer to a straight question. Having e-mailed Anne Marie Morris MP with the following question:- "Here is an extract from Ros Altmann's article in Saga magazine: "A woman born in April 1953 will be able to get her pension age age 62 years 11 months, but a woman born in April 1954 will have to wait until she is 66.
