David Sumberg MEP 2 July, 2007

I received the very sad news that David Sumberg MEP will be standing down at the end of this term.

David was the MP for Bury South between 1983-1997, he twice visited Sedgley a ward in his old Constituency when I was the candidate, and I have never seen anyone so well received. He was by his own admission like myself not signed up to the European superstate so he will doubly lost.

I would like to thank him and his family for their hard work and forbearance and wish them all the best in whatever he goes on to.

Latest crime spree 2 July, 2007

It’s been a busy weekend for me, besides dodging the rain to attend numerous community and family events, I was dealing with residents in three different pats of the ward who where victims of crime.

One area two robbery’s, one road slashed tyres and the other a mugging. Fear not however according to the government crime is falling dramatically, when are they reopening park lane police station?
