I don't recall the last time I kept a Christmas card for a year, where as calendars are very useful, especially when they have your democratically elected representatives details on them.
Whatever your views, whether you think the calendars are a waste of money or not, it's not Tory propaganda. Might be a waste of money if you think that, fair enough. You can't claim it to be propaganda when Labour councillors were just as entitled to feature on it. Didn't Labour councillors even have photos taken for the calendar? But then backed out.. I couldn't guess why.

Andrew. Have you seen the Oswaldtwistle calender. Its got a big picture of Peter Britcliffe on one side, and even bigger picture of him on the other side. Where's the information?
