Supporting the team

As the Group leader for the Wigan Independent Conservatives I not only do my own Ward work, which is important but I also support the other Councillors in the group, all I can. On Saturday 25th April 2009 I was pleased to go and support Cllr Debbie Fairhurst and Cllr Angela Bland opening the new children's section at Shevington Library.

The two mention Councillors are both the Ward Councillors for the Shevington with Lower Ground Ward and both get involved with as much as they can and it is testament that they were both asked by the Council Library Service to go and help do the new opening.

Not like your typical Councillors they did not just turn up and help cut the ribbon and leave they both spent the day and organised a colouring Competitions for the Children. They did this for two age group and donated prizes with their own money. They also got children throughout the morning cutting out Shields and colouring them in as well. As it had just gone past St George's Day they thought this would help to celebrate St George's Day.
