MP cannot plead a 321-year-old law

6:20am Thursday 4th February 2010

I was appalled to read (Bury Times, January 14) that Mr Chaytor and some other Members of Parliament in his position are attempting to avoid prosecution by invoking the Bill of Rights Act 1689.

Stand up for your Radcliffe facilities

7:40am Thursday 4th February 2010

How much has council U-turn saved us?

7:30am Thursday 4th February 2010

I READ in the Bury Times (January 14), that a council spokesman tells us that in the equal pay case, that confidential discussions in good faith with offers to 900 staff to accept reduced claims, are to try to avoid further cost to the taxpayer of legal cost and that he was disappointed that it was brought out into the public arena.
