Lynne Hillan Elected leader of Barnet Council by Tory Group

I'm not going to make any flippant remarks or claim it's good because it increases the chances for the opposition to win. It's a tragic indictment of our system of local government. She is the architect of the Sheltered Housing warden cuts. I don't believe she deserves her 15 minutes of fame. I passionately believe that the people of Barnet deserve better. Fiona Bulmer has a sound record of administrative skills. Her department has delivered. Hillan has landed Barnet in the High Court. This is two fingers from the Tories to the people of Barnet. Andrew Harper is the deputy leader. The jury is out on him, but he seems one of the more sensible Tories in the Barnet cabinet. I just hope he can stop Hillan doing too much damage. A sad night, one which I suspect will cost us all a lot of money.
