Yea, saw that this morning on my way into town. Also saw the cafuffle the procession caused around the bus station. 2BR were broadcasting outside the town hall which obviously caused a crowd to gather round it - only trouble was because Church Street was closed off for the procession to congregate all the traffice was being diverted on Blackburn Road - it's a wonder there wasn't a serious accident with fold trying to dodge the buses.

We had a thread about the mayor some time ago. Try doing a search. I can't remember the title. Maybe someone else can. My memory is getting worse these days.

It was the Mayors Ball on at the town hall.
No idea what it was or what went on???

I saw a mate the afternoon and he was suited and booted so I asked him where he'd been all dressed up and he said The Mayors Ball at the town hall.

It was a civic celebration to officially mark councillor Tony Dobson and his wife as Mayor and Mayoress.

so it looks like whoever put it there was in the know about today mmmmm it gets more interesting.

Well we know it wouldn't be written by the man it was rumoured the Conservatives were going to put forward as Mayor, as allegedly he wasn't literate in English.

They must have been.It must have been put there for today,it wouldn't have been as much of a talking point if it had gone up in 3 weeks time would it?

No,can't see it being him.You wouldn't think so,being from the same party would you?

cmonstanley · 30-06-2007, 20:43

are you insinuating party politics in fighting

Lilly · 30-06-2007, 20:46

They don't make much of a secret of the fact that there is some discord between them on varying issues do they?Most weeks they're having a good old slanging match in the Observer

I was talking to a counsellor this evening who said there had been several such banners around the town. Maybe the one on the viaduct was the most difficult one to remove due to access problems.

I missed this post earlier. Thanks for the clarification Lindsay. How sad that University Students are driven to suicide wherever they are.

I was one of the last to know about it. I live in Peel so straight down Plantation St meant I avoided them. I then went to the Halifax for an appointment at 9am which left me running late for the Council meeting at 9.45am. Not sure when they went up.

The first thing I know is when Pam Barton (my deputy) headed in my direction outside the town hall to tell me she was there early and had phoned the police to have them removed. There was some discussion amongst everyone.

Trish and Tony ignored it all well, though PB referred unnecessarily to it in the chamber during speeches. There was a lot of shock. Like the members on here, everyone is reluctant to speculate why who, in deference to Tony and Trish.

If someone has a grievance they should come clean. All this does is promote speculation and in honesty, drag the mayorality and the Borough down somewhat.
