Liberal Democrat group leader Michael Headley last night challenged the Mayor's decision to look at the contentious developments to the north of Bedford in secret.
Liberal Democrats on the borough council firmly opposed executive plans to introduce charges to a number of council services, at last nights Environment Policy Review and Development Committee.
Following last week's Executive meeting, which decided to delay the development of the bus station, Lib Dems on Bedford Borough Council are urging local people to voice their concerns through a petition.
At last night's first cabinet meeting the Mayor made his mark by slashing the involvement of the public and their representatives. The long standing "questions from the public" was removed and the Mayor made it clear that he would not accept questions or comments during the main body of the meeting.
Liberal Democrats on Bedford Borough Council have called for greater openness within the new Mayors Cabinet after details to be discussed at the first cabinet meeting were released.
Following Wednesday nights Full Council meeting Lib Dems are calling for the Mayor to explain why he is already failing key election pledges.
