Local people forced the LibDem Executive Councillors to carry out more contamination investigations.

CBR trial pits were nothing to do with contamination but California Bearing Ratio.

Trial pit 5 wasn’t dug and the CBR investigation points at the top right of the documents weren’t carried out, as the Council didn’t own the land.



LibDems kept pretending this site was not contaminated.

Local people knew its history and demanded the council arranged a contamination investigation. They did one borehole, which would laughable if it wasn’t potentially so tragic.

The then LibDem run Stockport Council knew this site they had chosen for a new school was seriously contaminated. It didn’t stop them pretending it wasn’t.

Three planning applications were refused in the past due to the toxic nature of the site.



Lord Goddard has emailed me to say he was not Chair of the Greater Manchester Police Authority, but doesn’t deny he was a cohort of notorious Manchester gangster Douggie Flood.

Memorial Service for LibDem Councillor
Council taxpayers have also had to pay for a memorial service for a councillor.  This is the response I got to a Freedom of Information request:-

“Further to your FOI request, the cost of the memorial service for former Councillor Maggie Clay which was held in the Council Chamber, Stockport Town Hall on 29th June 2009 amounted to £502.50. This related to printing costs for service sheets and refreshment costs which were met from the Mayoralty budget.”

They were forced to pay it back. All I remember of this councillor was when I attended the Stepping Hill Area Committee State of the Area debate, being told by Maggie Clay: “This is not a debate, Mrs Oliver.”
