We will then go to a residents meeting and you can read out those words you said about me to voters in Peel. That way you have had the best chance to further your own cause and criticisms.

I don't recall saying you did not attend to ward issues. If I was to be invited to a Conservative ward with a high majority, I'm sure I'd get exactly the same impression of the councillor. You are welcome to give your residents the link to this thread so they can read the full posts in their correct context.

I have visited Peel ward (hence my slow reply) and I can see all the road/paving improvements in the area. In fact the improvements seem wholly disproportionate to the rest of the wards. How did you manage this great feat?

Cheers Cyfr. Yes I work hard. All the street lights are new. Started in 2003 and completed in 2006. (Up for election 2004 & 2008). I got every street lamp fixed. I got some new ones on gable ends for women/security which I researched myself. I do street lamp audits every winter when I check every one and get bulbs replaced.

Just shows how politically biased/stupid you are Jaysay. Highways and Lighting was run by the District Council until recently when it went back to LCC.* If I get a disproportionate done, then it is not because of being Labour, but because others don;t work as hard on these issues.

* That's why there is a 10 years backlog in blocked drains and gullies.

Yes it is disproportionate. In about 2005/6 The Council put out a circular for next years roads. All 35 Councillors. Typical me. List straight in - long list. Went down to the offices a few weeks later make sure I got some of them done. Shocked!! Only 5 Councillors had responded and they were ALL LABOUR and Peter Britcliffe hadn't bothered himself. I got loads done that year. All of St Johns top to bottom++.

Nice one Rindi, see I hold my hand up, that made me smile, but I think it was a rejection of the Tories rather than PB, after all the lovely Gayle didn't even dent him in St Andrews Ward, even with your help:rolleyes:

Didn't Gayle post that she increased the Labour vote, at the expense of the Liberal Democrat, as did Peter?

As for my help, I've posted many times that I'm not a member of any political party, so what Gayle did, or didn't do, was all down to her own effort.

It's so liberating being non-partisan, and not have to worry about following a political agenda.:)

come on Rindi I was refering to the fact that you said you voted for Gayle:rolleyes:, nothing else, and I do admire the fact that your non-partisan, wish I were but I'm to long in the tooth to change now, besides Graham would have no one to fall out with, well except Cyfr that is:D
