It’s now been four days since Gordon Brown’s non-election announcement, and rightly he has not been let off the hook since. Locally, I would have relished an election and the opportunity to debate the Labour Government’s shameful recent record in Walkden and across Salford:
- The incomprehensible decision to close the maternity and neo-natal units at Hope Hospital.
- The proposed closure of St George’s RC High School, an absurd decision made by Salford’s Labour Council and approved by the Labour Government.
- A shambolic Government approach to public transport funding and the effective imposition of congestion charging.
When Gordon Brown finally dares to call a General Election in 2009 or 2010, it will be local Conservatives who are putting forward the policies to move Walkden, Worsley and Salford forward. I look forward to the debate.
