I have had one invitee to Peel Ward already AND the upshot was "what the bloody hell is my councillor doing then!". I am not important. Let's stick to the issues.
2. I HAVE TO spend 1% of my time (reluctantly as Bagpuss who I know is not Labour - suggested) on issues like this. Andrew FOI 'd the Council for one reason.
Rather than back peddle to defend a slanted view that was unrepresentative which is what Andrew does I am happy to come clean and tell the truth up front.The 'mud slinging' accusations don't matter as they don't account for the 99% good work that I do.
The only thing that matters of course (if Hyndburn wants to be great)is The Truth. Burying one's head in the sand to these people will not achieve that.

I have never question the work that you do Graham, people don't become councillors just to sit on their hands and they certainly don't do it for the money that's for sure. That's why PB has represented St Andrews ward for 26 years and has never looked like loosing his seat, because, like you, he works hard for the people who elected him, you don't serve 26 years if you don't do the work
