Robert Heseltine, a Craven district councillor, and also a North Yorkshire county councillor, has found that fence straddling suits him very well indeed. Heseltine sits with the Lib-Dem and Independents in CDC as does Ireton, but when that council were against being absorbed by NYCC he spoke volubly in NYCC's favour, praising the county council's good qualities and efficiency.
Not that receiving more allowances as a county councillor influences him in any way of course.

Now NYCC, motto "A responsive County Council providing excellent and efficient local services"
has decided to build a children's centre at Brougham Street. This is despite objections from the community, from the Civic Society, from CDC, from Skipton town council, and from Middletown community association.
So now you know what being responsive means in council speak.

Quick as the proverbial whippet our Robert, aided by a smiling self photograph, has told the county council that their plans are 'seriously flawed' and 'unsound.'
Er...
This WAS the same council which you were praising to the hilt a few short weeks ago, and telling us how much better at everything they are than Craven district council isn't it?
Robert is well used to seeing things from different perspectives, which is why he feels justified in claiming IT allowances from both CDC and NYCC.
"It's because" he says foxily, "I'm entitled to 'em!"
