The row was between the Thornbury and Yate LibDem factions and centres on the decision to build the Cambrian Green Court ‘extra care’ housing scheme in Yate. A Thornbury LibDem councillor drew up the scheme – but a Yate LibDem councillor launched a campaign against it. The LibDems haven’t offered to pay the costs themselves, so local taxpayers have been left to foot the £85k bill.
