Another Labour By-election Drain


Morley Labour Party have again called a Town Council by-election which will cost local taxpayers over £9000. This is money which could have been used for additional policing or to support local pensioner or youth groups. This adds to Labours' previous by-election blunder where they called a similar by-election in the Central Ward costing local tax payers over £7000 in election cost while failing to deliver a candidate for the election.

Labours' desperate desire to waste hard earned local cash in now becoming legendary with over £15,000 wasted on their personal vanity projects - that's the cost of half a Police Officer. The MBI way would be to co-opt a councillor, an option which doesn't cost local tax payers a penny.

Labour continue to bleat on about cuts - including Police cuts - yet do everything to waste cash which could support the services they claim they want to protect.

We are again gearing up to battle with Labour and to put a localised campaign which will focus on the Fire Station closure proposal from the Labour controlled Fire Authority and Labours' proposals for over 8,000 housing units to swamp Morley proposed in their LDF document.

We will be working hard with our colleagues who represent the Churwell Ward on Morley Town Councillor to find an honourable replacement for the legendary councillor Joe Tetley who is sadly missed.

Labours' proliferation of cash when in Government previously is the root cause of many of our present financial challenges. Its interesting to see that locally their desperate desire to waste money continues unabated!
