Ordsall Labour Councillor Tony Harold has been caught parking in a disabled bay at last week’s Council meeting. Cllr Harold quite rightly faces a £60 fine, and I’m disappointed that he has “expressed regret” rather than offering an apology. I don’t think “there were no parking spaces to be had anywhere” is any excuse either - the parking spaces are clearly marked and in any case, Cllr Harold lives both within walking distance of the Civic Centre and on a direct bus route. As usual it is do as I say, not as I do from our Labour Councillors!
I doubt that he will receive any sympathy from his Labour colleagues either. He is due for re-election in May, and his comrades in Ordsall have shown their strong support for his work by deselecting him in favour of local Labour activist Ray Mashiter. Regular readers will remember Mr Mashiter as the “local resident” making a complete fool of himself outside Salford Lads’ Club when David Cameron came to visit.
