Stockport Council News

Of course, Mr Parnell RIP was correct. Posthumously the police have admitted he was innocent. Have a look at all these custodies, arrests, court cases, imprisonments.

Mr Parnell had been asking Stockport Council for the previous decade for help for his lovely, troubled daughters adopted from Stockport Council. As their need for help increased and the Council refused to help, Mr Parnell stood on the Town Hall steps night and day begging for help. They just kept arresting him. Useless MP Andrew Stunell just tells him to stay away from council buildings and businesses.

“Then we come to Stockport where the Liberal Democrats head up a minority administration. The leader Sue Derbyshire shows no sign of wanting to stand for interim mayor, but her colleague Lord David Goddard may do.

David Goddard has had a roller coaster ride in politics. Once of the Labour party, he switched to the Lib Dems and became council leader. He lost his seat in 2012 in a targeted campaign by Labour, won it back two years later before becoming a peer . As an Offerton councillor he is eligible to be the interim mayor and is reluctant for the post to go to a Labour politician by default.

Goddard has been an active member of the Combined Authority(C.A), helping to negotiate the City Deal, the first C.A Environment Commissioner and represented the nine local authorities on the Airport Board during crucial investment talks . He was a leading member of the successful campaign against plans for a congestion charge in Greater Manchester.”

“Mr Philip Duncan Wright is British and was born in 1953. The first directorship we have on file for him was in 1996 at Common Purpose International. His newest directorship is with Hilden Vineyard LLP. The company was established 25 Sep 2014. Philip has held 13 directorships, 9 of which are currently active, and 4 are no longer active.”

Andrew Garner @andrewgarnernet works in Andrew Stunell’s constituency office, which I pay for. I am a constituent of Andrew Stunell MP. I pay circa £250k per annum to run his constituency office.

When I telephoned last week to question an inaccuracy in Lisa Smart, LibDem PPC’s election leaflet, he hung up on me when he found out it was me on the phone.

Andrew Garner needs to show respect to the people who pay his possibly inflated wages.

“MESSAGE FROM ANN AND ANDREW GARNER

by burylibdems on October 2, 2014

Ann and Andrew Garner have asked us to pass on their thanks, now that they have moved near to Marple in Hazel Grove Constituency, for your Lib Dem support and for the many friendships that they have made. Ann & Andrew have been Bury Activists, Bury Exec Members, Prestwich Councillors on Bury Council and School Governors. Their two grown-up children have ‘flown the nest’ leaving them free to downsize to a small country cottage in Charlsworth, just outside Marple. They hope that Bury Members can help as much as they can in order to ensure that voters appreciate that Lib Dems continue to lobby and campaign for a fair society where everybody gets the opportunity to get on in life and fulfil their potential.”

“Candidate Pitch

I am standing for election as a Liberal Democrat Councillor in Bury. The Lib Dems in Bury have been an effective, constructive opposition to the Conservatives at the Town Hall, and we want to build on our success in recent elections in Prestwich by winning elsewhere in Bury this time round.

Nationally, it’s a difficult time for the country. Labour’s legacy of debt and deficit meant that whoever won the last General Election, we’d be suffering big cuts now. In government, the Lib Dems are having a real influence despite making up only one sixth of the coalition. We have reduced income tax for millions, introduced a pupil premium, and scrapped Labour’s ID cards.

Where Lib Dems run Councils, they do well. No Lib Dem-run Council anywhere in the country has cut Sure Start funding this year, and despite Labour-run Councils slashing jobs, on the whole Lib Dem ones have been more sensibly managed. I want a Lib Dem Bury Council to make sure this happens in our borough.

The Conservatives running Bury have made some controversial decisions, and operate in a way many people find undemocratic and secretive. Meanwhile, Labour offer no constructive opposition or real alternatives. Their recent budget proposal was judged unaffordable by independent financial experts. Meanwhile the Lib Dem opposition secured vital amendments to the Council budget, saving local facilities.

Lib Dems are a real alternative for Bury, and could be a fresh start for the Council. That’s why I am a Lib Dem candidate, and I urge you to consider me on 5th May.
