Last week's agenda for Cabinet which according to the council's constitution has to be published five working days before the meeting consisted almost entirely of items "To follow" to allow the Labour Group to get items through without any public scrutiny.
As a public service Mick Spreader has rummaged in the bins outside the print room and found a more up to date copy.
