Powys Cabinet Funding of Planning Department

As an adjunct to the previous blog, attention has been drawn to the minutes of Powys CC's Cabinet on 4th October 2011 which agreed to vire up to £198,000 (two tranches of £100k and £98k) "to support the changes to the Development Management staffing structure". The only changes it seems is to pension off two officers based in the Welshpool office! This is a real waste of public money and the scant minute and confidential report is typical of such a secretive Council. Anybody willing to submit a Freedom of Information Request?
