Budget talks behind new group on county councilpublished at 13:05
Pete Saull
Political reporter, BBC Radio NottinghamI've been looking into the news that three former Liberal Democrat members of Nottinghamshire County Council have set up a new group - the Ashfield Independents

I understand the council's looking to make savings in several areas - including bus services and respite care. It all has to be agreed by the end of February.
