LIBERAL Democrats are renewing their push for a change in the way planning decisions are made by Sedgefield Borough Council.
Councillor Ben Ord, who leads the party in the borough, says it is unfair that only 22 out of 49 elected councillors have a vote on the authority's development committee. He has also hit out at the cabinet structure that was put into action two years ago, saying it is failing the residents of the borough.
Coun Ord called for a review of the development committee situation
