AS a former Radcliffe councillor, I am truly astonished by reports that Ivan Lewis wants to put fresh life into the new Radcliffe school.
It has to be the town’s longest-running joke.
Only it really isn’t very funny any more.
There must be a General Election on. I wish to offer your readers six clear reasons why Labour’s councillors and MP have abandoned Radcliffe.
Labour has:
1 Closed Coney Green and Radcliffe High before securing a new school
2 Demolished Radcliffe’s swimming baths
3 Demolished Radcliffe Civic Suite
4 Proposed to close Radcliffe Library
5 Failed to secure regeneration for the town centre
6 Increased council tax by 4.65%.
Labour turned its back on Radcliffe. It is time Radcliffe folk voted with their feet on June 8.
