I hope that the people of Rishton will see just how much Cllr Britcliffe has done for the village and vote accordingly for his candidate in May.
The Conservatives seemingly can't even decide who their candidate is in Rishton this year as Cllr Horne has told me he is standing again yet a man in the gallery on Tuesday night told Clare Cleary (someone who put herself forward as Labour candidate last July) that he is standing this year for the Tories. Good luck to them all but the cynicism that is washing through Rishton at the moment regarding the cheques that are being handed out doesn't look good for the blues.
There is more to being a councillor than dishing out money every four years and the people know it.
