Road safety and an election review are two of the burning issues councillors in Telford and Wrekin will investigate in the next two years.
Councillor Peter Scott described the local election count as 'diabolical'
Councillor Peter Scott, ward member for Newport West, described the local election count last month as being ‘diabolical’.“It took far too long, people were going out on breaks en masse. At the count - I got there at 11.30pm but didn’t get my result until 6.30am, it was just sat in a box for five hours.Councillor Angela McClements said that the election review needed to be done while"it was fresh in their mind".
The committee heard that speeding had previously been on the agenda and a working group had looked at the issue. Executive director Angie Astley said that road safety was brought forward 10 months ago, but the communities scrutiny committee’s members had since changed.
