The crazy thing is that due to being disabled my council tax is paid by the council so they have sent an arrears letter to them selves.. Comment well done to the person who decided to send this out. No wonder we are in such a mess. Role on the Elections One word springs to mind inept.
Just about to put it out with the rubbish for recycling and i noticed on the top it says FREE.
Question how much is it costing each individual tax payer IN SALFORD to produce? better dig out the batteries for the calculator
We asked and we got Dorchester Road is now starting to take shape thanks guys for a job well done, the residents love it.

MARY BURNS – HAZEL BLEARS SOLVES POVERTY |
|
Superhazel is now going solve all our problems… Poor Hazel’s digging a deeper hole every time she opens her gob. Today she’s launching a new document “supporting those communities where the most severe poverty…persists.” Obviously not her tv room then. |
Hazel Blears has today launched Transforming Places: Changing Lives – a “new framework for regeneration that will help the sector through the downturn” …First of all we have to ask `Which sector is this?’ Will that be the regeneration sector where everyone works on huge salaries chucking public money at developers who have taken the wads and stuck up a few shoddy houses that no-one can afford? And who then go back cap in hand to Hazel pleading to be baled out when it all falls flat? Hazel in her speech to the British Urban Regeneration Association`confirmed the planned £6.5bn investment in regeneration across the country over the next two years in reflection of this priority’. She added “Over the last ten years we have shown we can make a difference with many areas turned around because of the commitment we have shown and record investment we have made”…Not on your own doorstep, Hazel. The figures haven’t moved – see our `jam tomorrow feature‘… Regeneration, Hazel says, is now to be judged against three new success measures 1) `improving economic performance’ – don’t pay Capital Gains Tax? Sorry Hazel, we all want more regeneration money but handing it out to the same speculators and losers who messed it up last time is no answer. Come up with proper ideas – if you’re still there in a few weeks time. PS. Can we have some funds for Salford Star |
The topline figures, with changes from Populus’s last poll, are CON 39%(-4), LAB 26%(-4), LDEM 22%(+4). Other parties are at 13%, up four points (though it’s worth noting that this isn’t some sort of unprecedented boost which that might imply, Populus have quite often had “others” up at 12% over the last year).
This is the first poll of 2009 to show the Conservatives below 40%, and leaving aside ICM, who always give them a higher level of support, it is the highest level of support the Liberal Democrats have recorded since 2006. It is the highest figure Populus have given them since 2005. It’s tempted to ascribe this solely to the expenses scandal, though it’s worth remembering that this is also one of the first polls since the government’s defeat over Gurkhas, an issue that the Liberal Democrats lead upon.
Well i need my drains doing by dyno rod. What do you think should i ask.Yet another planning application for a hot food shop in Langworthy. I’m sick of it, why won’t somebody look at opening a greengrocers!
Well you have my support and also my fellow members. we believe that obesity is a problem and we are excited that you have taken up this challenge. We must be role models i personally have lost over two stone by giving up beer and pork pies. Perhaps we could together do a sponsored slim for charity.
“The membership is politically balanced, which means the number of
places given to a political group is proportionate to the number of
Councillors the group has on the Council.”
Any one reading this blog today can i ask you a question.
Do you believe it is a safe practice for the ruling group of any council to try to stack committees set up to scrutinise it’s decisions with it’s own members.
Smack of Stalin? comments…
It’s funny the more information you have relating to any issue gives you the chance to make the best informed decision. But what if some one holds back that information. You could make the wrong choice easy as that.How easy then is it for someone to do that. I suppose very easy, something i will be asking a lot about in the coming months. so as they say watch this space.
The events of the past week in relation to MP’s expenses have torn this country apart. We are in the midst of a recession,jobs are being lost. and people are losing their homes. And the digracefull events that are unfolding in London are a shameful example of the worst in politics. I feel that the only honorable thing these people could do would be to resign and take their ill gotten gains with them. As a councillor i must declare anything over £25.00 every one including officers within councils must do the same. Anything that involves expenses must be open and transparent. People who abuse these system set up to help them must be named and shamed.
