A couple of belated notes from last week’s Council Meeting:
Firstly some new challenges for me – I have been appointed as opposition representative on the Greater Manchester Fire & Rescue Authority, and as spokesman for Planning matters on the new Salford Conservative Shadow Cabinet. I relish both roles and will be commenting in much greater detail on both positions over the course of the year.
Secondly, it was very clear over the Council Meeting that the ruling Labour Group have absolutely no intention of listening to the local residents who gave them such a bloody nose on 1st May. They intend to plough on regardless with their fingers in their ears – starting with the Building Schools For The Future programme.
There are two years until the next set of local elections, but local residents in 2010 will have a clear choice between a Labour Party which will have continued to ignore local concerns and a Conservative Party which listens to residents and stands up for local communities.
