Thank you for your email.

I have been familiarising myself with the area as it will form part of the new Salford & Eccles Constituency should I be re-elected.

1. Question as it relates to Swinton South

Familiarising myself the area, strange if i was One of the MPs in Salford i would hope i had a good idea where Swinton South was,
Should i be Re-elected? Not very confident if that was me i would be a little more positive.

And seeing she has been Familliarising herself in Weaste and seedley and Clairmont,all Liberal Democrat Wards,? is she saying she never goes there? i hope she as not been taking the voters for granted? No.

God I got a bit mixed up with this bit of news i Thought it was when Some of our MPs met Gordon Brown

MPs meet stars of political comedy

 MPs  turned out for a special screening of political comedy The Thick Of It last night.

Do they remind you of any One?

Something i found on Cllr Lindleys Blog. Question how did Hazel pay for the Propaganda she put out in Swinton South?

Our Labour Government has a dreadful record when it comes to undermining democracy, and the £10000 per annum “Communications Allowance” for MPs is one of the most glaring examples of that.

The Communications Allowance is an appalling rule which allows each MP to spend £10000 of taxpayers’ money each year on newsletters and leaflets promoting themselves. It is a propaganda fund introduced by this Labour Government with the sole aim of ensuring that Labour MPs have a better chance of saving their seats – and doing it with your money.

THE BBC has been accused of “bribing” staff to move up to its new Manchester hub by

letting them keep generous London allowances, at a cost to the licence-fee payer of

nearly £40m.

In addition to receiving generous relocation packages, staff moving to the new MediaCityUK development at Salford Quays, Greater Manchester, in 2011 will keep add-ons to their pay worth up to £4,080 a year for the rest of their BBC careers.

God i thought Salford was Ok.

40,000 jobs to go in town hall crisis

 

Town hall bosses will be axing thousands of jobs before Christmas as they face the grim prospect of having to make a staggering 40,000 workers redundant in the New Year. Councils have already started laying off 15,000 staff in anticipation of savage 145 per cent budget cuts expected to be introduced next year. A DCLG source says 15,000 jobs are being lost now, a figure that could rise to 40,000 by 2011.

A £131,000 internal refurbishment of the Swinton Civic Centre is planned as part of efficiency savings. ?

I think i had better sleep on this one.

I had a dream yes i no some one as used it before.

I had a new Job as  FUNERAL director it was so real, than mag woke me up.

I really like this answer to Cllr Lindley so i thought i would give it a wider audience.

“I am not opposed to house-building, but this City does not need 33750 new dwellings (that’s the figure in the draft Core Strategy) and it certainly does not need 24500 new apartments.

What we need is a more sustainable housing strategy focusing on building good quality (and affordable) housing – houses, not apartments – across the City.”

There will be a need for apartments – affordable apartments, though – and 24,500 does sound a bit high. But since couples are starting families a lot later than they used to, but wanting their independence and moving out earlier (i.e. cohabiting), there is a need for some. But £190k for a one bed apartment is obscene and really should be outlawed for managing the feat of being both profiteering and a monsterous waste at the same time.

Otherwise, I think we’re in agreement. Do you still think that 30k houses across Salford over a 20 year period is still daft, Iain?

well if it’s up to the bookies the Tories don’t even have to turn up for the result. but lets look a little closer.

I sat and thought about this one, well Labour did the job then suddenly there not flavour of the month. The new smooth talker from the Tory party looks and sounds like Blair so let vote for him. I mean to say there is no real change with the Tories except, now they will do what Labour did under Blair say any thing to get elected. I ask you something what are their policies to get us out of recession. They sound a bit like, sorry for using the words in public Thatcherism.So prepare for cuts and get on your Bike, the Free market Economy,but surely that failed,but the guy who leads the Tories sounds niece so what. I was going to ask the same to the Tories in Salford what are you going to do to cure our Ills? or may be it’s to much to ask for full and frank Policy statements at this time? well think hard because it’s not to late if you don’t fancy the BNP you can always try us. Were that unknown quantity , unsure than come and talk with us or help us to make that change.You have tried Both Labour and The Tories perhaps it’s time for real change.
