What if Labour win at the locals and you win your seat in the Commons?

You would not be able to be Leader of HBC and MP at the same time. You could not give both those jobs enough time

No!

Many thanks for your answer Graham only a yes or no would have been sufficient

Tealeaf, I wouldn't expect Graham to resign anything before the election, that would signal his total arrogance in respect of the Hyndburn Electorate

Agreed. A full time job. Peel Ward is secondary. Two issues. Out of touch MP's in London? Would Peel Ward want a totally backbench Councillor albeit with clout?

I would want to keep my feet totally on the ground, Peel Ward (both Hodder St and Councillor aspect) may be helpful for that.

Mmm, my recollection of the conversation when I asked if you would be living mainly in London or in Accy included you saying that Hodder street was "too accessible for the weirdos and freaks that plague Greg at the moment......"

Now I will say the following to be both honest and balanced. Whilst I do not at this point want a Labour government to be re-elected due to their national policies and the mess that this country is currently in after so long in their care, I do believe that you would be a good MP for Hyndburn. I don't agree with everything you stand for but on the whole you are a decent bloke who I believe will work his heart out for the people here. I would much rather a local bloke who cares passionately than someone looking for a gravy train to ride. I have yet to be in a position to pass judgement on the Conservative candidate but rest assured I will be grilling him/her in due course.

I tend to disagree Graham, Hyndburn needs a full time MP and Peel Ward a full time councillor, in respect of peel the representative needs to be here 24/7

Yes Greg's had issues though it's not my place to say. I was warned (by officals) which was our conversation. I do not want to be forced out of Hodder Street and forced to move to somewhere secluded. I have a baby daughter. If we can't sell my grans, if I win, then as I said, we'd consider keeping it between Khole, Clare and me. We've a viewing this Saturday from someone, it's still up for sale.

Two years ago a man was sectioned for hassling Councillors at home continually and sensually. His issue was that a secret underground sect runs everything in Hyndburn and controls everybody and as intelligent Councillors we had to lead the fight to resist. Letters and documentation 'proving this' ran from a dozen pages per month to 100 pages per month.

I have just moved the Howarth Art Gallery questions into this thread http://www.accringtonweb.com/forum/f...ery-48634.html so we dont get these 2 threads merging together

So is Garinda still sectioned?

Sounds more like the beliefs of one of our lady members
