According to the letters page of this week's Observer, ex-Conservative councillor and Britcliffe chum John Farrer, informs us of some interesting news.

His letter moans that the Mela won't be happening, and blames central government funding, but then tells us that Peter Britcliffe has 'managed to find some money to celebrate Accrington Stanley's inevitable return to league football.'

He doesn't offer any information about how much money, or what our esteemed Council leader is planning to do to celebrate the occasion. It may just be a cup of Freetrade coffee in the Town Hall for all we know.

If, hopefully tonight, Stanley win their rightful place back in the football league after forty four years, the event should be celebrated. What I object to is it being used as a political point scoring exercise by the Tories.

Lastly, I've commented before how the letters page of the Observer are used by the Conservatives to get their views across, indeed this week we have Britcliffe attacking 'our Gayle', yet so few of them are willing to enter into a debate about local issues on here.

Shame.
