Residents at danger and Standish Labour Cllr doesn't care

At the request of Standish Labour Cllr Debbie Parkinson the council put traffic lights at the bridge on Bradley Lane. Prior to that and for decades traffic would approach the bridge with caution and at low speed as they would need to make sure there was no traffic in the tunnel and or people under the bridge. They would need to go slowly through as traffic may come from the other side. 

But since Labour Cllr Debbie Parkinson got the traffic lights put up she promised that there would be a safety feature for pedestrians - this has never happened and now traffic see a green light and say well I have right of way and fly through the bridge. This is dangerous and puts lives at risk. I did say this even before the traffic lights where put up and said the council should stop the works - but they did not. 

When traffic from either side see a green light go to amber many put their foot down to get through quick. But that again puts lives at risk. 

Also Hutton Street is just under the bridge and if residents slowly move out as their vision is blocked by the hedge and other traffic and then cars fly through there have been a number of close misses including when when one local resident nearly had the front of their car ripped off as a car came flying out the bridge at speed. 

So you can see the situation but when residents contact Standish Labour Cllr Deborah Parkinson she tells people that she never promised a safety feature, even though she put it out on her leaflets and on social media. But what is really worrying she says it is Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM)  that is responsible for this and not the Council, yet  TfGM is actually made up of Cllrs from all of the Greater Manchester, including Wigan. 

But what is the most worrying is that Standish Labour Cllr Deborah Parkinson tells residents to record incidents - but why if she says that Wigan Council can't do anything ? And here is the worrying thing the more horrific stories the better. What is Standish Labour Cllr hoping for? Car crashes, people being hit walking under the bridge or worse? This is not only a disgraceful response to residents of Standish but worrying that is her mindset. 

For that I will be reporting Standish Labour Cllr Deborah Parkinson for this matter and I firmly believe the Labour Group on Wigan Council should suspend her immediately until the matter is investigated, as what she has put in writing - and I have been supplied proof - is very worrying and dangerous.

On the matter of the bridge Wigan Council need to look at the issue at Bradley Bridge as a priority and resolve the matter so local residents and road users are not put at risk, we really need to resolve the matter before there is any serious accident there.

Time to clear out the rot called Labour

 

Up until 2016 I had been a Cllr for Wigan Council. Since then I have been involved with a number of issues with Wigan Council including when this Labour controlled council tried to remove your right to vote. The single pillar in which our society is built on. Without that we have nothing. One example was when the Chief Executive at that time a Ms Donna Hall called an unlawful by election only for us to stop it in the High Court with just hours before the polls opened and after hundreds of postal voters had voted. That cost Wigan Council tax payers - yes you and me - approx £250,000. Labour playing their stupid political games and using our money to do it. 

After that time the then Chief Executive was sacked, she will say she was allowed to resign. I'm calling it what it is - SACKED! The labour group got a coup going and ousted the then Leader Peter Smith for his role in the whole mess.

Just prior to being sacked the then Chief Executive got her special friend in GMP to try and bully and intimidate me. That story is here, if you want to read about it. Also just before she left she raised the money that the Council pays into her pension. Why does this matter if she was going? Because she was what was called a final salary pension scheme.

So when the Council got a new leader and chief executive you would hope all the bully, intimidating vote rigging would stop. But of course why would it. They think we will just play a better game. Try not get caught. 

Then we have a new Labour government who lie worse than the Tories. Stealing WASPI pensions after campaigning to give them the money they are so rightly owed. They took £300 of winter fuel allowance from vulnerable pensioners. Even Labour's own report says that action will result in people dying. Yet they give millions to their Union Paymasters by way of pay rises and other foreign countries in foreign aid. Deny an inquiry into the gang rapes scandal. What are they hiding? The truth!

But we must rid the Country of this Labour rot. We must expose them at ever turn, fight them at every corner. 

So keep tune and join the fight that will be to rid us of the Labour ROT. It is time for a clear out!
