Sudbury Tories vote against the need for councillor training.

Last night (14th Oct) Dean Walton a Conservative councillor brought a proposal that councillors should follow standards training, all chairs & vice chairs should have training and the Chair of Council should be limited to 2 years.
Having just been awarded Quality Status I would have thought that Council would have welcomed this and realised they need it but NO!
Council decided that "these proposals are not appropriate and therefore not supported."
All the Lib Dem councillors supported Dean but all his fellow "team mates" voted him down.

So we have a Town Council that thinks training is inappropriate. Unbelievable.

Even a Conservative member of Babergh's Standards Committee voted against training in Standards for councillors !!!
