After the last local elections, the Lib.Dems. took over three of the Council’s ten cabinet portfolios. In these there have been notable improvements, as officially recognised.The three Lib.Dem. posts cover:
* Housing - awarded three out of four stars;
* Corporate Services - awarded three stars; and
