THE new Tory rulers of Lancashire County Council said they have not yet decided whether to maintain the county’s controversial office in Brussels.

The Tories have previously been critical of the office, which costs £130,000 a year to maintain, and raised it with party leader David Cameron when he visited Rossendale, Coun Geoff Driver, Tory group leader, said: “We will be having a good look at it.

"We have not made any decisions at all. My views on it have been known for some time.

"We have to be sure that we get value for money.”
