The Labour and Liberal Democrat Groups on Bedford Borough have agreed a united approach to Chairs of non-Executive Committees that aren't appointed by the Mayor. This will ensure that - In light of no party having an overall majority - there is thorough and fair scrutiny of the political management and performance of the Council.
Bedford Borough's Liberal Democrat councillors have elected a leadership team to face the challenge of being in opposition, following the election of a conservative Mayor by a wafer thin majority of 145, just 0.2% of the vote.
