It's over 2 years since I got elected to the Council and I must tell you that things seem to have changed in that short time. We now have an excellent Liberal Democrat MP in Paul Rowen, Liberal Democrats now have all the members on the influential Cabinet and I continue to work hard alongside my colleague - Councillor Zulfiqar Ali for the residents of Central Rochdale. Lots of positive things have happened in Central Rochdale since electing Liberal Democrat Councillors, these include the fabulous regeneration of Unique Mill and many more. I know that my former colleague - Shah Wazir played a major role in this and is rightly proud of the work that has been done. I don't pretend though that everything is perfect, work is need, especially to improve our environment and I look forward to the challenges ahead.

There was a very simple reason why the Council Meeting overran - There were 6 Notice of Motions and the amendments that came with them. The Liberal Democrats have long understood the importance of Notices of Motion to shape Council Policy and the difference with this meeting was that for a change - Labour and the Conservatives put three in too. Councillor Rush's motion was excellent and will contribute significantly to the fight against the anti-social use of off-road bikes. The personal attacks from all sides of this chamber must stop though - we need to concentrate on Council Policy.
