Protection of the Environment Bill 2003: Second Stage (Resumed).
If I am opposed to powers in that regard being an executive function, obviously I am strongly opposed to the charges being applied by managers. I have been involved for a long time in local government and have seen the continual erosion of powers. In part, we as councillors have been the architects of that. We often shy away from difficult decisions, whether it is traveller accommodation or whatever, and hide behind the manager.
