Technically, until there is a vote on the new leader he remains in that position although that is by no means guaranteed beyond the Hyndburn Council AGM on 18th May.

As I said, the decision is really up to Cllr Malcolm Pritchard on the day.

No problem and thanks.

It's something I am very much looking forward to. We have some good councillors across the board in Hyndburn but (wait for it, Steve....) primarily there are a number of local issues that I can finally put to bed by working with Cllr Harry Grayson.

It's an exciting time and if anyone wants to know what I'm up to then feel free to ask.

I suppose in terms of actual 'seats' Peter Britcliffe is more deserving of the leader's job than Gordon Brown is of being Prime Minister.

Whether Cllr Britcliffe being leader is best for Hyndburn is another matter entirely and should, in theory, be decided democratically on 18th May.

Re: Hyndburn Borough Council election results 2010

Where does the Honourable Councillor Jones come into this equation? If there is a vote for the leader of the council on the 18th May, will he be there as councillor for Peel or will he be in the Commons as Member for Hyndburn? He can't be in both places at once. So unless there is a proxy vote then he will have to return to Hyndburn for the council AGM...which raises the question of who will be responsible for his first class return rail fare - HBC, Hyndburn Labour Party or the taxpayer?

The 18th May will be the first day of the new Parliament as well.

It's clearly an dilemma if the dates clash. I have a vote in both and both may count. I hope the 18th is not the recall to Parliament. There is no vote by proxy.

The three independents have suggested they will be backing Miles Parkinson as new Council Leader in a coalition so Miles has 17 votes. Peter Britcliffe has 17 votes with his Conservative Councillors.

The only undecided is Malcolm and up until the 18th he has to make his mind up. Malcolm in 2007 was elected as a Labour Councillor so he has also to consider the will of his electorate.

Miles Parkinson will make a great Council leader and will be a fresh change, a new direction.

Eh? I thought they were all due in Westminster within the next few days. But even if parliament does not formally sit I would have thought it would now be imperative to get the various party MP's togeather just in order for their respective leaders to consult with them over whatever power deals are now being done.

Still, I suppose that is now being done by 'soundings' over the net or whatever.

Does that mean you have already decided who you will be supporting then Malcolm? Or will you be taking soundings from your electorate?

I'm not particularily clever, nor am i a mind reader, but if i was a bookie i think i would have closed the book on taking bets as to who you will choose!

It seems to me there's a difference for one person:-

Councillor Ross,

Congratulations, please, from now on just give us the juicy bit's when you post about Council Business.
Councillor Moss, if you please!

As for juicy bits, you may well think that but I couldn't possibly comment....

I understand Parliament may be recalled on the 18th so it's all in Malcolm's hands as there looks as thought there may be a clash.

Malcolm is a personal friend of Miles Parkinson and a big critic of Peter Britcliffe. I'd hope Malcolm will do the right thing and put the people first.
