This doesn't and shouldn't stop them talking about each other's territory because it is essentially the same turf. We need to work together and attempt better communication between district, county and parliamentary levels in order to get a better grip on the borough's affairs than the last lot. Contrary to popular Conservative belief, Graham Jones is not pulling the strings but the Labour group enjoy a better relationship with him than they do and it obviously doesn't sit well.
The days of one man making all the decisions are over.
Deal with it.

If MPs were to get involved in council business in every constituency in the country, who the hell would run the country, we elect members of parliament to be just that, and believe me, that is not an easy job, remember I've seen what goes on in an MP's office and just what the workload is, and when your trying to do parliamentary work plus county council work and borough council work somethings got to give, and as much as Graham thinks he superman, before long he'll need to go back to Krypton for a recharge. Nobody can be everything to all men all the time
