IT’S BEEN over a year since the report was written but Blackpool Council are still refusing to release the findings in relation to its loss-making property deals on Crystal Road – and the Information Commissioner has ruled in their favour.
AND IT couldn’t be a clearer example of leftie quasi-inclusive diversity cronyism.
WHEN LABOUR came to power in 2011, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and thought at last there might be transparency given the saga of the council amassing a multi-million pound property empire only to give it all away for the price of a bar of chocolate.
THIS YEAR has seen the unfortunate deaths of two well known and well liked councillors, namely Bloomfield’s Mary Smith and Marton’s Jim Houldsworth, and the by-elections are on the way. Postal voting forms are being deposited through letterboxes this week for polling day on Thursday the 3rd of May. This article is the first of two ward roundups in advance of the forthcoming election.
WE KNEW it was coming.
