Despite claiming normal operations continue, the council’s deadlock since elections has sparked outrage, with critics calling proposals to wait until 2027 “passing the buck.” If commissioners step in, costs could soar to £1,200 a day—unprecedented for political gridlock. Councillors are being reminded that taxpayers, not them, are footing the bill as the Ministry watches closely.
