Councillor Kazi Siddique - fir for public office

The conduct of Kazi Siddique as councillor is at best imperfect. Councillor Jones amongst others has questioned his credentials and dedication as councillor and as possible mayor going forward.

Re: Councillors in Hyndburn - Are they fit for purpose?

Less clearly has failed to realise that many of the 'community cohesion' projects or organisations that operate as community or cultural centres, actually have councillors or potential councillors...

Re: Councillors in Hyndburn - Are they fit for purpose?

Well I cannot see how someone cannot understand that if a project is not generating the desired outcomes, then the money ought to be channelled elsewhere.

Which brings me to my previous assertion...

Re: Councillors in Hyndburn - Are they fit for purpose?

Incidentally, I also note from your link that Ianto complained about not having received a renovations grant from the Council notwithstanding twenty years of effort. Perhaps Ianto ought to direct his...

Re: Councillors in Hyndburn - Are they fit for purpose?

Gayle,
Thank you for that. I perused the first page of the link attached but did not feel the need to scroll the rest. I gather from this page that the amount allocated to this project was £12000. ...

Re: Councillors in Hyndburn - Are they fit for purpose?

Mr Jones,

I know not the number off hand, save that it is an end terrace. I shall phone my source later today to obtain the same. I am sure that since former Councillor Sardar Ali had his details...

Re: Councillors in Hyndburn - Are they fit for purpose?

Councillor Jones,

Thank you for your comments. I agree that any mayor, or indeed Councillor should have a grasp of the English language. Otherwise he would not be in a position to serve those in...

Re: Councillors in Hyndburn - Are they fit for purpose?

Siddique is seeking to be the next Mayor of Hyndburn. That would make a mockery of the very idea of having a Mayor to both serve and promote the interests of Hyndburn. Thus the fact that he may fail...

Re: Councillors in Hyndburn - Are they fit for purpose?

There is no doubt that the visit by Reid is entirely based on the fact that this is a marginal Council. I suspect it shall not be for much longer since it is inevitable that Siddique shall not be...

Re: Councillors in Hyndburn - Are they fit for purpose?

I see the Community Development Fund has allocated funding to the ‘Why I Live Here’ project.
I wonder if Gayle would care to disclose the amount allocated to this project, and exactly what is hoped...

Re: Councillors in Hyndburn - Are they fit for purpose?

A question for Councillor Jones. He asserted that Mr Safdar’s affiliation to the Conservative Party was only known the day before the recent internal election. Yet this from the Observer yesterday:...

Re: Councillors in Hyndburn - Are they fit for purpose?

Gayle,
I think it was you that suggested to me it was bad forum etiquette to disclose the content of private messages. Yet, in your post you have done exactly that!
Since you have skewed the facts...

Re: Lie Detector tests

How do you know the MP is not aware? According to my source, some Councillors did refer aspects of this matter to the MP. He, I understand, is of the view it is a matter for the Council and DWP.

Incidentally Garinda, do you have a job? I note that you appear to be on this forum whenever I log on.

Perhaps you can contact one of the centres funded by the LCC for the same, and im sure they...

Re: Lie Detector tests

Garinda,

Don't take this the wrong way, since it is not so intended. However, I must say that your understanding of what goes on behind the scenes as it were, is in it's infancy at best.

You are assuming others have not reported this matter. Not on an online forum but apparently in person and to all organisations affiliated to HMG that were taken for a ride.
