No measures in place for voters in isolation
The infrastructure minister has refuted accusations of negligence over yesterday's (22 July) local authority elections.
Councillor Andrew Bentley spoke out against Tim Baker after no plans were put in place to mitigate the impact of Covid-19.
It meant hundreds were prevented from voting due to self-isolation rules.
