Preparing for the future, today.

We may only just be into the new football season but following Manchester City’s short run of wins, questions are already being asked whether money can automatically buy success. Just think what Rochdale A.F.C could do with £120million!
By contrast here in local government, we are...

Improving public transport still a priority

After the referendum, public transport needs to stay near the top of our agenda.
The Government have still got nearly £2000Million of the TIF money now unspent. In addition to that, they tell us they want to spend on major public works to lessen the impact of the recession.
The Leaders of...

Political Opportunism Of The Very Worst Kind

As the Leader of Rochdale Council I would like to state my disbelief at the political opportunism that Simon Danczuk, Colin Lambert and Jim Dobbin MP have decided to take regarding the pay and grading review.
I do not want to get into a political slogging match, as this is not going to help those...

Who's is the loser? Brown? Labour? NO Politics!

Well, they said it was going to happen and it hasn't. Was it the biggest bluff or the biggest loss of nerve? We'll probably never know. One thing is for sure - The Liberal Democrats will be continuing to campaign to make Rochdale safer, greener and cleaner. Who is the biggest loser in the whole...

Housing in Rochdale

I’m fed up with the Labour government forcing decisions on local government and making us wait to see what London has to say. Our new Prime Minister seems no different from the last one and I wish he would trust local people to decide on local matters. We are not waiting for the Labour Government...

for the same reason. I’ve known...

Well, what a year it has been on the Council. This time last year the Liberal Democrats made a number of promises to YOU, the Council Tax Payer and we have kept each and every one of them.
