Liberal Democrats believe that transparency is the key to seeing how public money is spent and how important decisions are made.
The Coventry & Warwickshire Local Enterprise Partnership (CWLEP) is the major organisation in the sub-region through which the Government is channeling large amounts pf public investment in order to deliver growth. Yet no minutes of CWLEP Board meetings are made available for public scrutiny..
Warwickshire Lib Dems leader Cllr Jerry Roodhouse has called on the LEP to open up and become more transparent. He stated:
“In this day and age it is unacceptable for a body such as the LEP to keep its doors shut to the public and be secretive about how decisions are made. Transparency is important especially where public money is being spent. My hope now it that they will change and open up.”
