Somerset County Council sale of Quantock Land
It's official from Tory Cabinet member, Cllr David Huxtable "We want a smaller Council and will transfer this to others. That is the objective; it doesn't matter if it does not raise much money".
This was in response to a question of, how much money would be raised by the sale? In the case of some of these land sales there is very little competition and real concerns that the public interest has been ignored.
Then perhaps the sale will the save money? The answer came - "We don't know"!!
Shadow Spokesperson John Bailey said "So it is official, there is no business case, it is pure dogma.
Don't worry, the Tory Administration is not selling the family silver - they are giving it away"
