Route66 Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Reading up on her she is probably the best of the independents and deserves the job,disappointed in labour refusing to work alongside her though. No doubt the deputy leader will keep us informed via facebook rants what is happening with the stadium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GentlemanJim Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 They have no experience of running anything, any of them. I'm really worried about the direction they'll take us (down). If I was Labour I wouldn't want to be involved either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverfox Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 I'm sure she will see sense and realise its an opportunity to build the stadium is a no brainer ,and tell all those Independents who are against it ,to wise up and shut up . all those jobs it will create, more people using the Town centre , a self financed Stadium .New Hotel, Restaurant . its called moving with the times .

townie88 Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 In danger of being overtook by the likes of Coventry, north Wales etc if we dont improve our facility and overall matchday experience. Hopefully the new council sees sense and continues the hard work that got us this far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Workington town council is mostly independent something like 16 to 9 Labour, no Tories though despite the efforts of a certain someone trying to be on every council going.Don't blame those independents for not knowing though as he is also a compulsive liar but would expect them to ask for his resignation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rango Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 What makes this worse is he spread lies about the stadium project and had people know what his background was would they have fallen for his lies? I very much doubt it. A good councillor has lost his seat because of this man on the back of this too. surely there should be full disclosure before and during an election??

troutmaster Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Apparently,The Labour group knew about his misdeeds until he left them.I am somewhat suprised if this is true,I actually thought our Labour group would have been above that,but you never know what secrets they have, or did have until the hits the fan..

Disgraceful. Any other town in the country would be delighted to get a project like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
