I live in his ward.
I think political banners aside, he's regarded by the folks that live here as a very good local councillor.
As one of his most vociferous critics, when it came to some council policies whilst he was the leader, I agree, he is an excellent councillor for St. Andrew's ward.
Away from politics, as a man, I also like him. He's witty, friendly, and amusing.
It's just a shame he didn't have me running his P.R.
Because that's certainly not the side most people see.

What's that?
Lord Mayor of Accrington?

As Cashman said, it might be wiser to acquaint yourself with the facts, before coming out with anymore silly inaccuracies.

It's what has been going on behind the scenes that people don't know.

Been indulging in a bit of phone tapping, have you?
I'm more likely to believe Jaysay, when he posts he hasn't seen Cllr. Britcliffe for years, and has little, or no contact with him now.
You'll find facts go down better on here, than hearsay, and rumour.
Unless of course it isn't a rumour, and Accrington has been awarded city status, and will soon have a Lord Mayor.

Pray tell us more, I haved lived in Accy all my life & have not seen anything apart from a town going to the dogs courtesy of P.B, he might have done good for a few people in his ward, same as other local councillors do, after all isnt that the point of being a councillor, but as far as running a council successfully & honestly - never, he should never be allowed to take charge ever again, also what a relief to look in the Accy Observer & not see his ugly mug on every other page anymore!

Though asking Louella Parsons to 'tell us more', may result in legal action being taken, if there's no evidence to back up the claims, and us all footing the bill.

'Many true and faithful Christians, because of the testimony of enemies, rivals, slaves and other low people—and still less appropriate—without tests of any kind, have been locked up in secular prisons, tortured and condemned like relapsed heretics, deprived of their goods and properties, and given over to the secular arm to be executed, at great danger to their souls, giving a pernicious example and causing scandal to many.'

Oh dear.
What are you trying to tell us?
As well as condemning, and branding you, with absolutely no evidence, has he also done what was done to many in the Spanish Inquisition...cut your tongue out?
