[Margaret Pilkington]

Like you no prospective candidates asked me my opinion either.
I did get a leaflet from the Labour candidate and the conservative too, but you cannot question a leaflet on the plans either of these parties had for our future.

I had lots of question that I would have asked, but no opportunity to get answers.
Our newly elected MP is from Blackpool, but when she was asked why this made her a good candidate for our town she came up with the fact that she married in a Rishton church and her in laws live in Ossy.
Like that gives her any idea of the issues that beset our area.
Also she has a four month old baby…..she does not inspire me with any confidence in her ability to represent us.

It is a poor show when the Local Labour Party cannot find a local person who they feel can get the support of the local community.

Anyway, it is done…cannot be undone and we have to live with the consequences.
