However, I am pleased that the Lib Dems have done a 'U-turn' with regards to the car park at Angel Drove.
He invites me to check the facts, which I have done. However, I do not propose to bore readers with minutiae, (we said this, and they said that), but, suffice to say, most of the good people of Ely are fully aware of the history of Lib Dems objecting to all ideas.
