but to run a £30m business and remember this is about jobs and prosperity, not charity with the constant flow of £100 cheques.

To me the above is key, we ( Hyndburn) are a massive company and yet we let it be run by people who by the very way they are in position have no experience of running such an enterprise. To control such a budget efficiently cannot be done in parallel with party political arguemnts, personality clashes or any other antagonistic behaviour. You need clear direction from a strong Leader and by that I mean people with proven Leadership qualities not someone who happens to be best of a bad bunch.
I would rather a properly recruited, experienced business minded individual run the council than the current mechanism, supported by the best people to do the job in each area of specialisation. Contracts can easily be short term defined length with the people of the town voting if we think they have done a good job and should be renewed.
