And of course progress is stifled not by Labour Councillors but by the Erics. Guilty of not looking at the arguments, asking intelligent questions, but getting tied up in the personalities. In the end it is the Eric's that give a mandate to rogue Councillors to carry on by not holding them to account.
I am on here to be scrutinised. Questioned. Told I am wrong. However you seem to have forgot Eric this process is about a better Hyndburn and not about trying to look better than people who are actually giving a lot and trying.
Sorry about expressing my opinion mate but it had to be said. Moralising fence sitters annoy me because there is nothing genuine about that line of thinking.
For the record, we work together a lot but the papers won't print that because the public want conflict. Any criticism is overplayed in the press ditto. I am not out for Party politics, pretty much 100% of what I do in Peel and 90% in Council is non political. If you bothered to meet me or contact me you would work that out in minutes.

Q. E. D. And I've voted labor all my life (it's New Democratic Party here, same thing, only a little more to the left.), and never sat on any fences about it. But, locally, where my concerns are about infrastructure maintainance, snowplowing, policing, parking, development ... I don't think that "party" should have anything to do with it. All it adds is more petulant bickering.
