Last week I reported that I had offered to meet with the two main opposition groups on the Council to see if we could agree common ground with a view to submitting joint budget proposals to the Policy & Resources Committee on 9 February. I have now had responses from both groups (which is progress on previous years I have to say) declining my offer as they wish to submit their own proposals.
I suppose that's politics.
It is obviously more important to the SNP and Lib Dems to put forward proposals that they think will win a few headlines than it is to influence the decisions that are actually taken since they know that the Administration has the votes to have our proposals carried.
