Great job to allow a letter headed can you trust the independents place my photo next to it even though there was no mention of me in the article, and not allow a right of reply.
Well Done.

“WAR ZONES” – REGENERATION SPENDS MORE ON DEMOLITIONS THAN RE-BUILDING SALFORD
Liverpool Council Leader Admits Pathfinder Mistake – So How About Salford?
In an incredible admission, Liverpool Council Leader Warren Bradley has admitted that the demolition derby, also known as the Housing Market Renewal project, or Pathfinder, has “ripped the heart” out of communities and left whole areas looking like “war zones”.
Since day one of the Salford Star, residents here have been telling us the same story over and over again… “They’re ripping the heart out of Salford”. For a council leader to admit this is unheard of – now will Salford’s political leaders own up to the mistakes?
Letter to Salford Radio.
Dear Colleagues,
I wished to send my apologies for not being able to attend the ‘Salford Leaders Debate’ today. What amounted to an official invitation came yesterday and which left me in a position to be unable to rearrange other events I had committed to.
I have made an offer for someone to deputise me but I have left this in the hands of the organisers.
Kind Regards
For 20 Minutes i tried to get the station to allow me to deputise but no, perhaps someone may like to ask the PANEL today do they feel democracy within the city is being served?
What a joke

It’s really sad when a station manager comments, i will go away and ask the three main party leaders if you could attend, I can say today The leader of Salford Council had no problems so who would you guess said no. For two years i was the budget spokesman for Sal ford Liberal Democrats.I have fought on many issues but no i was not welcome. What price democracy in this city i have written to the leader of the council to request a meeting to discuss his views. We are expected to vote for people who seem to shy away from questions they don’t like.
