Lib Dems condemn “chaotic and incompetent” budget
The sheer quantity of raw sewage being dumped into Britain’s rivers and coastal areas is a scandal and a disgrace.
Thank You to all the voters and Helpers in Smallbridge & Firgrove. Firstly A great big thanks to Jean, Christine and their families for the help and support throughout the campaign. Also to Dave Hennigan and James Sharrock for their excellent help during the campaign.
It's been a busy few weeks but I am happy to welcome Dorren Brophy-Lee as a colleague and Heywood North Councillor. The campaign was a busy one and close - I blame the fact that Jean Hornby was Mayor and her increased profile. She is not a very good campaigner or Councillor BUT was an excellent Mayor.
Can I thank Rochdale Online for the opportunity to log my thoughts after being elected last week. I am happy that our positive campaign was rewarded. I was shocked by Labour's negative attempts in the election. As a relative newcomer to politics I thought the Labour campaign was atrocious. I had to apologise to parents of children at Balderstone Technology College for Labour's Lies.

First of all I would like to give a huge thankyou to all my supporters and helpers in the local elections. I'm delighted to be elected for Spotland & Falinge and I intend to serve my ward and town well. As promised I will work for the whole of Spotland and Falinge alongside my hard-working colleagues Councillor Barbara Todd and Councillor Peter Clegg. I'm particularly proud that my whole campaign was run in an honest, fair and democratic way. I've been proposed for a number of committee positions and I promise to use my positions wisely! The future of Healey Dell and the TBA site is a particular concern of mine and I look forward to getting more closely involved as a Councillor.
Hundreds of people have returned petition forms against the proposed closure of Folkestone Post Office. A few weeks ago the Post Office announced that Folkestone Post Office is to be closed, with services will be moved to a new "franchise" based at WHSmith in Sandgate Road - unless a public consultation can change their mind.
