Re: Big day for Gayle
 

I live in the ward Gayle is contesting. If it's down to hard work she deserves to win.

I've twice been asked if I've any problems, and what I'd like to see change, as well as three lots of literature that actually says something, as opposed to the the one daft leaflet from the Tories, that looked like a menu from a greasy spoon caf in Spain, and the one leaflet from the Lib Dem man.

Re: Big day for Gayle
 

I like Spuggie pm'd Gayle yesterday. But again, Good Luck

Re: Big day for Gayle
 

Unfortunatly, my vote rests in the capital, not St Andrew's ward or Church or even Hyndburn. Tonight, however I shall find out whether, like Nigel Evans, MP for Ribble Valley and thousands of others, my vote has been purloined by the Asian postal voting scam in the borough in which I reside .

Or then again I may just go down the pub. Because the simple fact is that local government elections are no more than an opinion poll on the current antics in Westminster. That means that an awful lot of talented people are simply not interested in lining up in party colours to serve their local communities as councillors. I really do not see how loyalty to any political party is the key to ensuring that the streets are swept and the bins are emptied on time. A combination of hard work, imagination and enthusiasm, and an honest acknowledgement of errors seem to me to be the order of the day.

However, those final qualities are the ones that Gayle apppears to pocess, so I will say - Good Luck Gayle! I hope you win!

Re: Big day for Gayle
 

Thanks all for your best wishes. Things are going ok so far - nice weather equals a good turn out! I'll keep you posted later!

Re: Big day for Gayle
 

Get knocking on them doors!

Re: Big day for Gayle
 

Just taking a short break!

Re: Big day for Gayle
 

The Town Hall was quiet when I visited 30 mins ago so maybe more door knocking is required ;)

Re: Big day for Gayle
 

good luck

lets hope u can b more useful than alot of the councillors in there

Re: Big day for Gayle
 

I'd just got back home from voting when I received a telephone call from Neil, and I'm happy to report my vote has cancelled his out. We could have come to an arrangement, like they do with each other in parliament to cancel each other out, and have stayed at home, if only he could be trusted.;)

The polling station at Ossy Town Hall was quite busy.

Re: Big day for Gayle
 

Have to wish the enemy good luck, they'll need it! ;)

Re: Big day for Gayle
 

Good luck Gayle;you could have counted on my vote if I lived in your ward!

Re: Big day for Gayle
 

good luck gayle but i honestly think labour candidates are going to take a hit because of how the govenment lot have been acting of late

hope its not the case though :)

Re: Big day for Gayle
 

More like if only you can be trusted. I am surprised you didn't get Gayle to give you a lift to the Town Hall so you could vote for Peter ;)

Re: Big day for Gayle
 

Well, the polls are closed .. here's hoping Gayle xx

Re: Big day for Gayle
 

No chance. Hehe.

Re: Big day for Gayle
 

It must be an awful feeling just waiting for the votes to be counted. I feel quite excited for her............fingers crossed.

Re: Big day for Gayle

Re: Big day for Gayle

Re: Big day for Gayle

Re: Big day for Gayle

Re: Big day for Gayle
 

Irrespective of the final outcome and I know she’ll be disappointed, but 542 on her first time out is a respectful result and even in defeat she should be congratulated. Well done Gayle..

Re: Big day for Gayle
 

She should be proud and so should we. There is always the next elections.

Sorry Gayle but it was a good result for a first try...........next time you'll sort it.

Re: Big day for Gayle
 

labour got no chance even in the strong holds

Re: Big day for Gayle
 

'If' Gayle has lost to Britcliffe, she should take some pleasure in losing to someone who has twice lost the general election for the Tories.

Re: Big day for Gayle
 

sorry gayle but ? what can one say? you put your heart into it! but..................its not the end of the world!would these people on accy web be sending you there condolences if you was not a member?ask peter !:eek:

two faced comes into the equastion!

Re: Big day for Gayle
 

If she'd have won, the balance of power would have changed at the Town Hall. We'd have had a new council, one that didn't give us one of the biggest budget defecits in the country....and we wouldn't have had Britcliffe as leader of the council, so it was quite am important result.

Re: Big day for Gayle
 

Listening to the clams on aunty beeb they think dispite what certain people think on here national politics have had some influence on the outcomes.

Re: Big day for Gayle
 

The balance of power wouldn't have changed because the final result was

Cons 19
Lab 15
Independent (BNP in disguise) 1

Yes, I lost but I gave it a shot. At the end of the day what did I really lose? I stood up against the leader of the council and gave him a run for his money. I made a gain on him votes wise whereas everyone else lost votes so I guess that is a small consolation.

Re: Big day for Gayle
 

Well done.

You must be knackered.

When it's all died down, take stock, and hopefully you'll give it another go, because I'd be proud to have you as my councillor.

Re: Big day for Gayle
 

All this means, Gayle, is that the chorus' of "Britcliffe is a barsteward" and "hes fat, hes round, he owes me forty pound..britcliffe" will echo louder than ever across the country as the Stanley bandwagon rolls into the football league :D

Re: Big day for Gayle
 

You have put a warning shot across his bows. Hold your head high. This could just be the first round so please keep up the good work Gayle.

Re: Big day for Gayle

Re: Big day for Gayle
 

Just a reminder Gayle the next Supporters' Club meeting is on the 8th...I trust you'll be there as always?:)

Re: Big day for Gayle

Re: Big day for Gayle

Re: Big day for Gayle

Re: Big day for Gayle

After comments in the other thread concerning hunting I thought you were implying an Ossy Mafia be created for polling purposes. :D

Re: Big day for Gayle

Re: Big day for Gayle

Re: Big day for Gayle
 

Cheers Staggers just what I need or then again not.

Re: Big day for Gayle
 

So sorry, Gayle, really thought at the end you had a chance there ... you still have your other interests though applying for these grants for the good of the community. Put those hats back in storage, but keep 'em safe, sure they will be taken out again in the not too distant future.

Would have been great fun though if you had, everybody would have been having a go at you on here and, unlike Britcliffe, know you would have responded. Can you imagine all the threads that would have been up for discussion xx

Re: Big day for Gayle
 

does anybody know if gail got in

Re: Big day for Gayle
 

Oh Tommey hun .... :D read the thread !

Re: Big day for Gayle
 

sorry gayle for spelling your name wrong.
but it would be nice for a honest person to get in

Re: Big day for Gayle
 

so we have to put up with lies once more ?how big will his head be now

Re: Big day for Gayle
 

No mate, the results are here

Re: Big day for Gayle
 

It is probably a good job he drives a Picasso with plenty of head room in it or else he would have been walking home last night :D

Re: Big day for Gayle
 

Well, like I said last night I gave it a shot. At the end of the day he got more votes than me and I can walk away from it!

But I would like to ask the question - what is it that he does that makes people want to vote for him? Come on Tories make yourself known and defend why he continually wins - you're obviously in the majority so you shouldn't be ashamed of it.

Over to you Neil!

Re: Big day for Gayle
 

Just out of interest Gayle - was his majority over Labour increased or decreased from 2003?

Re: Big day for Gayle
 

You are running the risk of turning into Graham Jones, next you will be accusing me of being Peters friend like Graham continually did.

I think it was unfortunate that you ran against Peter in your first election. If you had been up for one of the other 2 ward's in Oswaldtwistle I bet you would have won, after all Sandra Heyes lost her seat.
I remember saying to you either on thread or PM months ago something along the lines of "who wouldn't want the leader of the Council as their Ward Councillor if they had a problem that needed sorting out?". I am sure that other voters must think along those lines as well.
Have you noticed they have updated this page with the results since earier today? It now shows the turnout percentage. You had the highest turnout in Hyndburn. I cannot find any figures for the last time Peter was voted in. It would be really interesting to see if last night was a closer vote and higher turnout than the previous one in 2002 (I think it was 2002).

Re: Big day for Gayle
 

I don't care whether or not you're Peters friend or not. I don't even mind if you voted for him because I respect everybody's point of view if they have actually taken the time to go out and vote. All I'm asking is that people who voted for Peter actually stand up and say why!

Re: Big day for Gayle
 

I think it was about the same, slightly decreased if anything but not by a lot.
