My view of being a councillor is that we are here as the voice of the public and to pull residents together in the name of a common cause, ie. to make each ward actually function properly.
Peter Britcliffe apparent motive for being a councillor is to get his name associated with as many projects as possible and make out that he is somehow responsible for them, spending thousands of pounds of public money along the way.
Another example is the 10 year celebration of Area Councils. He has never set foot in Rishton as long as I've lived here and yet insisted on being on the group photo of ours and every other ward in the borough. I don't know how much the little backslapping party cost either but I bet that cake wasn't cheap.
'Look what I've done, aren't I brilliant?'
This is public money, not yours.

I actually think you have a lot to learn Ken, especially in this day and age, It was quite different when I packed up politics in 2001, for a start there was no accy web. Just one tip take it or not, but everything you post on here is for open digestion, you only have to see how many guests are on line every day, sometimes its better to keep your powder dry
