Labour finally realise they have let children and residents down.

 Last week 2 cars where involved in an accident and one ended up in a front garden near to a primary school in Standish. Naturally, speed is presumed as ending up in a garden doesn't happen at low speeds. 

For years, Standish Independents have called for safety measures including a crossing at St Maries primary school. So not doing much the labour Cllr and the 2 other candidates have now started the despicable tactic of campaigning at a primary school gate 

The first thing myself and others thought of is safeguarding. I have asked the Labour Party if they do DRB checks on their candidates prior or at selection? I await their reply to date no response.

The thing is I am glad they no agree with us that there is an issue but here is the thing. Wigan Council is controlled by Labour so if a Labour Cllr for Standish can't simply ask for something and has to resort to things like us, the opposition, have to do it begs the question what are they doing? Do they have any say in their party? 

Also, when opposition Candidates, Cllrs and political parties do petitions Labour say they do not count. So If we go off what Labour say about petitions why is their Labour Cllr doing one? Political stunt to try and get re-elected just before the local elections? Seems to be the case to me. 

But the real, and to be fair the only question, is why has Labour allowed this position ro come about and will they put a safety measure in place? 

Bryn residents be warned!

Bryn residents need to be on their guard for  a charleton. This is Gary Wilkes. This guy used to be a Cllr for Bryn and fell out of grace with residents when their fought to stop major development in the area only to find out their Local Cllr Gary Wilkes was not only voting for the houses but fighting for them too.

When I asked Gary what on earth he was doing? His replied I want me kids to have these houses! Where are they going to live? He was only thinking of himself and not the residents at large.

Gary used to be a member of the highly popular independent group - Community Action Party. Then internal fall out meant a number left, Gary being one of them. Then he went and joined with a Cllr who was kicked out/ left the Labour Party and who had set up Independent Network. This wasn't Independent at all it was Labour that were not wanted.

Gary Wilkes has said he is going to stand as an independent but if elected he will jump over to the kicked out Labour supporting Independent Network. If he wants to be one of them why not just stand that way at the local elections in May? Reason he wants to try and hoood wink residents in Bryn that he is someway connected to the highly popular truly independent Cllr Steve Jones. 

In fact independent Cllr Steve Jones is working hard behind the schemes to stop a road that would for a development that Gary Wilkes voted for. Shocking! In fact when he was a Cllr he voted with Labour the vast majority of times. If you want a Labour Cllr just vote Labour. If you want an Independent Cllr that looks after the ward don't vote for the 

So people in Bryn should not be tricked or hood winked and don't vote for the charleton that is Gary " I am in it just for myself" Wilkes.
