Harborough District Council s headquarters.
A leading Harborough councillor has accused the ruling Tory group of “diluting local democracy” by reducing the number of annual meetings.
Cllr Phil Knowles, who heads up the Liberal Democrats on Harborough District Council, slammed the Conservatives for cutting back on planning and full council get-togethers.
But Cllr Phil King, the council leader, angrily hit back immediately – insisting his Lib Dem counterpart was talking “absolute poppycock”.
Cllr Knowles told the Harborough Mail: “This isn’t good enough.
“I wouldn’t go so far as to say this is an assault on democracy.
“But it is a definite dilution of local democracy.”
