Having met you I have no doubt that you will do a great job for Rishton, because you are doing it for entirely the right reasons, when you've been there 27 years you'll know the people of Rishton think so too  |
I slag Peter off because he spends vast amounts of public money on pet projects to try and make himself look good, he attempts to jury-rig votes and council meetings at every opportunity (as he is doing this week with both the full council and an extraordinary meeting in November), he speaks to council officials in an appalling way and is wildly egotistical.
No one voted for him to be council leader beyond his whipped flock of sheep and the only reason he keeps being voted back into Oswaldtwistle is through the vast sums of money he can spend on improvements. It's a real catch-22 situation and the only way to remove that crutch is for control to move to another group.
I'm sorry John, I know he is a friend of yours but he is absolutely atrocious for Hyndburn as a whole. There are any number of decent Conservative councillors who would do a far better job as Leader.
