Cllr Iain Lindley’s Diary

First of all, apologies for the lack of “wish list for 2008″ - I’ve not had access to a computer for enough time to make a detailed post.I’ll update properly tomorrow.

I thought I’d make a quick post however about the good news from Manchester City Council - a Liberal Democrat Councillor tipped as a rising star has joined the Conservatives.

I welcome Cllr Bhatti to the Conservative Party and I am glad that Manchester City Council now has genuine common sense opposition to a Labour administration that has failed so many people in Manchester.

I hope also that this will end the tiresome media line of talking about Manchester City Council as if it was representative of the whole Greater Manchester region. Perhaps they might like to focus on Salford instead, another inner-city authority where we have a 30% share of the vote and ever increasing numbers of Councillors!
