I know that a lot of people have withdrawn from the process because they are angry, disappointed, disillusioned and/or disgusted with the way they feel they have been sidelined, ignored and used a cannon fodder in an endless, pointless game of "he said, she said" and to a point I do understand that but as a previous poster said the only way anything is going to change is if we, the constituents, start standing up and saying very loudly and very clearly that we will not put up with things the way they are at the moment. The solution is in our own hands.<br /><br />At the last local election in our ward in May 2011 out of a total electorate of 15,143 people only 4,876 residents bothered to vote and that is simply disgraceful. Where were the missing 10,000 plus voters - they cannot all have been sick, on holiday or moved!<br /><br />Yes we deserve better representation than we have at the moment but unless we rejoin the process and start standing up for ourselves then nothing will change. We need to elect people to represent us, we should come first, middle and last in their thoughts and to hold them to account in that way we have to be involved closely in the electoral process.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7471922919187447505.post-53367697884098751982011-10-26T10:36:06.975+01:002011-10-26T10:36:06.975+01:00It seems that there is not much to choose between ...It seems that there is not much to choose between the parties on this matter and they seem to spend more time in cheap point scoring against each other than they do actually addressing the problems of the area and the genuine concerns of there constituents!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7471922919187447505.post-46820630373493739812011-10-26T00:34:40.612+01:002011-10-26T00:34:40.612+01:00What I would be interested to hear is NOT what the...What I would be interested to hear is NOT what the local Councillors have to SAY about this issue, but will they commit to actually VOTE against an incinerator in Council Meetings?

The Cross Green Markets site was actually included as an option at the insistence of the Labour Government - who said that PFI credits would not be made available unless it was included as an option. The relevant government department was DEFRA - under the stewardship of local Labour MP Hilary Benn at the time!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7471922919187447505.post-53561155882671060702011-10-25T12:26:56.012+01:002011-10-25T12:26:56.012+01:00According to UKWIN moaning on about health is a wa...According to UKWIN moaning on about health is a waste of time - AIR QUALITY is a different matter though. <br /><br />Poor Asghar seems to have been spun a great big fib by his party - build it at knostrop and nobody will moan.

Did they really think it was appropriate to build an incinerator ( or two) in an area already suffering greatly from health inequalities?maria_pinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05816779625031986424noreply@blogger.com
