Peter Wheeler is a Labour Party bigwig and Labour Party candidate for Claremont ward here in Salford. He has a blog of sorts but hasn’t quite got the hang of blogging, and stubbornly refuses to approve any comments I leave on his website – as with most of his colleagues in the higher echelons of the Labour Party he clearly isn’t terribly interested in open and honest political debate.
Anyway, according to his website, a couple of weeks ago Peter and his colleagues went campaigning. Fair enough, but then we get this gem of a quote:
The big issue – as ever – was the state of the roads and pavements.
He is quite right, of course. The state of the highways and pavements is a big issue for local residents not just in Claremont ward but across the whole of Salford. What Peter doesn’t say, of course, is that the state of the roads is the responsibility of Salford City Council – and remind me who has been in control of Salford Council since it’s inception in 1974? That’s right Peter, the Labour Party!
If local residents are concerned about the state of their local roads and pavements, the last people they should turn to at the ballot box are a Salford Labour Party who have neglected our highways for decades. The cheek of it…
