CALLS are being made for the national government to help resolve a county management struggle.
Pendle Peer Lord Tony Greaves said he submitted a private notice question to the House of Lords to see if the government were making 'contingency plans' to intervene to new proposals by Lancashire County Council.
This comes after earlier this month leader County Cllr Geoff Driver proposed streamlining which would include forcing out chief executive Jo Turton.
The potential changes have been criticised by opposition members of the county council.
County Labour group leader, County Cllr Azhar Ali said: "We need a response.
"The leadership nationally is dysfunctional and the leader in the county cabinet is dysfunctional."
The proposals will be discussed at a full county council meeting tomorrow.
