No unfortunately. Its our building so there was no cancellation charges or staffing charges because it was overtime. There ws some cost because it clashed with an Area Council in Clayton which had to be rescheduled. THe figure banded about was £1000 but I am not sure about that.
More importantly was the Rishton by election. If it had been called on the 5 May it would have cost £2,000 but now its next week it is £6,000. PB thinks the hight turnout of the 5th will mean a loss opposed to holding it next week means that Rishton has the chance to 'bash Tony Blair' before the general election and win a local seat. Is that honest politics?
