Councillors for Newbury town centre are angry that they were not informed before time ran out on a planning application for a new Aldi store in London Road. To meet the Government's deadline of 13 weeks for planning decisions on major schemes, planners issued a refusal notice to Aldi on 1st October before local councillors could demand the decision be taken by the District Council's Western Area Planning Committee.

"I hate to say it, but only one party leader seems to have grasped that, if you construct a system where unskilled people are worse off by taking a job than by staying on welfare, they remain trapped in poverty - and that is Nick Clegg. "

"It's unbelievable that the Tories are still planning to cut taxes for a handful of millionaires when the majority of people across the country are feeling the squeeze. We need fair tax cuts that put money back in the pockets of ordinary people. The Tory sums simply do not stack up. It is irresponsible and highly misleading for George Osborne to continue to pretend that they do. "
