Future meetings will be chaired by Small Businesses Minster, and local Tory MP, Mark Prisk.
LibDem Councillors, Mike Wood, Andy Graham, Bob Taylor and Mione Goldspink all spoke forcefully against the six planning applications submitted by the Herts & Essex and Bishop's Stortford High Schools.
Local LibDems continue to have reservations regarding the revised design proposals by Hendersons for the redevelopment of the Council offices and the Causeway car park (Old River Lane development).
