Once again, Chesterfield residents are at the total mercy of council leaders disagreeing about the Government’s decisions for devolution in our borough.

First of all the Government was not transparent about these huge area changes prior to the election, and secondly, as far as I’m concerned, disagreements between the leaders of Chesterfield Borough Council and Derbyshire County Council reveal they have bypassed ANY form of public democratic process. May I remind you about consulting local people before you both move forward with any decisions you have? Local county elections should go ahead this May, delays are not necessary. Serve the people who elect you and don't delay democracy!
