John i was brought up in Salford,do you remember a long time ago before i was elected.i came to see you in my position of chiarman of a local group. We discussed langworthy long before urban spalsh. I asked how your council could have allowed an area in which i had once lived, an area that any one would of been proud to live get into such a mess. You never really offered any real answers. And i am sorry that is how i feel now. I respect you for the position you hold. But i was for many years in my youth a proud card carrying member of the labour party. What it as become nationaly and localy is not the party i joined. Norman as is faults and i will carry on my fight to one day lead the group but he now sits back and listens, and he allows me the right to speak out he belives in this party and i will defend him, not the best relationship but it his all we will ever have. My goals are to look forward to 2010 win or lose i will fight to remove as many of your members my pocket will allow.Then i feel we will see true democracy within this city
Regards
Joe

well joe I cannot fault you for your honnesty. but if you are so disillusioned with the leadership of your party why did you not have the courage that geoff aibsworth showed when he decidec that he had enough of normans leadership. Of coursw in a city like salford there are always problems to be solved but I will bever run away from them.I fight for a vision of what this city could become not what it was like in the past. you disagree but surely there can be some common ground between us

It’s really a shame john that i failed this year to get the groups backing. I can assure you that i would have given you a better run for your money. I have to accept steve is in the position of deputy but sorry in name only. Pleased be assured i will offer the people of this city my view. Your own lead member made the quote i think we all no who. You state in your budget your wish to put up school meals.While our children eat junk. We lack adequate playing fields.People of this city live in a post code lottery for drugs.Crime goes unreported. And Sorry i had to leave at lunch but i belive you have a lot of problems to worry about without me. I will over the next two years continue my fight regards joe

Improving health in Salford
Hope you do not need expensive drugs?
Obesity in children.
You were there when i was i quote no body is going to tell me what to eat!
Head of what department.
Fear of crime. Confusing statement i suppose it’s all in our head and it’s nor really going on.
A City thats goos to live in. Perhaps that should be put on LABOUR leaflets and they can distrubute it on some of the areas i visit.
It makes me so angry the people of this city deserve the best. I am like you proud to represent them it’s a shame what parts of this city have been allowed to fall into neglect..
