Clearly Churwell Voters punished Labour for calling a second by-election within a year and wasting £15,000 of hard earned public money on a sad attempt to promote Labour and Ed Balls. At times there were teams of students flooding Churwell Streets attempting to persuade voters by door knocking them that Labour had the answer. Voters did not buy into this baloney rejecting Labour by a substantial majority. This is probably because of Labours support for over 2000 new homes on Laneside Farm contained within their LDF plan or to punish Labour for voting for development on Greenfield sites at Daisy Hill and Bruntcliffe Road.
Wyn is an additional useful councillor in Churwell and will join a fine and hard working team of Wenda Whitehead, Joyce Sanders and Janet Harrison. The by-election was called following the sad death of Joe Tetley who was a fine councillor and represented |Churwell well.
At a time when Labour moan constantly about cut backs their cavalier attitude towards wasting public money is contemptible. The hypocrisy of their criticism of the recent waste of public money on the recent Police Commissioner is also exposed as they blew over £15,000 on their own expensive vanity project.
My personal thanks goes to Churwell voters who despite the weather and the onslaught of Labour students still go out to the polling stations and lodged their votes for the MBIs!
