This evening seeking legal, financial and constitutional advice from key local & national stake-holders as to how we present an iron clad business case to government for the abolition of Telford Council. @shropshirestar @skynewspolitics

Christ alive. Literally trying to abolish a democratically elected council just because he doesn't agree with them.

He is just thick isn't he.
It's not even worth the hassle of the political discourse here is it. It'd go over his head.

I remember John Gummer imposing Unitary authorities upon the people of Shropshire with his reform of local government. It was always a done deal come what may . Apart from anything else the cost involved in abolishing Telford Council would be astronomical . I take it he would like to see Shropshire Council take over completely? There must be a business case to abolish DK surely!

Now why would the two councils being run as separate entities be of any interest to an MP whose constituents have just seen a £55million investment by their council lose 20% of its value in a little over 12 months I wonder?
Shropshire County Council is an absolute joke, T&W aren't brilliant by any stretch, but at least they are reasonably competent, prudent, solvent and forward thinking, which in the current climate is all we in Telford can ask for.

The guy is an absolute weapon. The current state of affairs means that the sky would have to fall in for the Conservatives to lose overall control in Shropshire. Bring the two councils together and there would be a turnover of control and sometimes no overall control.
Is this because DK doesn't agree with T&W's view about Future Fit? Is it that childish?

Should stress as a Shropshire Council employee this move by DK has nothing to do with Shropshire Council either. Everyone here has no idea what he is up to either!

This is straight out of the Tory MP playbook. If you have **** all to say (which is most of the time) try to curry favour by having a pop at the world's easiest target, the public sector. DK will doubtlessly harp on about "waste", ignoring the fact that actually Telford is quite a different area from the rest of Shropshire, has different needs and as such the current set up makes sense. Sadly, morons will lap it up, as you point out. The man is an embarassment and sadly a damning indictment of the electorate of Shrewsbury and Atcham.
