A recommendation to set up a new committee to advise the Liberal Democrat/Labour cabinet on the county farms estate, has caused unease amongst Powys councillors.
At a meeting of Powys County Council Economy, Residents and Communities scrutiny committee councillors received reports from several working groups linked to the committee that look at topics of interest in depth.
Calls have been made for an “extraordinary full council meeting” be held to discuss the issue and council leader, Liberal Democrat Councillor James Gibson-Watt has said he would resign if he and his cabinet are found to have acted inappropriately. Going back to the Gwyn’s Barn issues, councillor Jones said: “We did feel uncomfortable about the cause of the recent call in, and that was why we thought it better that scrutiny come back to the main group.”
Councillor Davies asked whether the proposal should be deferred as Cllr Mitchell was absent and could explain more on the proposals at a future meeting.
