I am completely stunned to read that the Conservative councillors rejected the Lib Dem suggestions out of hand.

They may disagree but this is excessively high-handed and exposes the way this self-serving group has run roughshod over the needs of the residents of South Hams.

This looks like group self-aggrandisement, especially following the aborted merger with West Devon Borough Council fiasco.
