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.
well said, i could not understand why he did not park on the precinct
and pay his 50P or maybe he may feel the way half of swinton south feel. Looking forward to him coming to weaste.
Cllr Lindley by any remote chance does Mr. Harold work in the Fire Service in Lancashire? Be obliged for a response..thanks Paul
No idea Paul. I think he’s a solicitor by trade but I have no idea for whom…
thanks anyway
Cllr Lindley… yes H does… if you give me an offsite email address I can return interest with interest…. I have the definitive Man Even News report but would like to copy your second para first sentence with credit to you in open correspondence to the Fire Service…I am an author myself so will respect your copyright…good luck Paul…
Cllr Lidley at first glance it seems Cllr Harold may be in conflict with the Local Government act 1989 in that Harold holds a politically restricted post at the Lancashire Fire & Rescue Service. He cannot do both. My investigations are continuing…
