Liberal Democrat joins the new Lincolnshire County Council coalition

As a result of there being no overall control following the elections on May 2nd the Conservative Party have invited Liberal Democrats Group Leader, Reg Shore to join the nine member cabinet that runs the County Council. Reg will be responsible for rubbish, no really, he has to run policy on waste disposal in
the county.



Reg told the Lincolnshire Echo: "It looks like an agreement is there between the three of us.This is the right decision for the people of Lincolnshire."



Asked whether the criticism aimed at the Tory/Lib Dem coalition at central Government concerned him, Mr Shore replied: "I think whenever you get into power, you are going to be criticised - that is politics. We are doing this because no party had a majority at last week's election.I am looking forward to
my new role as waste portfolio holder and helping the Conservatives. If people don't want to vote for me in four years, they won't vote for me."
