It strikes me as time to brush aside any tiresome party politics labelling and simply pick the best person for the job?
After lifelong hands on daily experience with a widest knowledge of Crewe Central Roger Morris must be eminently qualified to pinpoint what’s needed to improve our neighbourhood (And Town) and get it done.
Needless to say Mr Morris’ outstanding community spirit was most admirably demonstrated with the use of his premises to facilitate countless 1000’s of folks vital Covid jabs and surely merits recognition at the ballot box!
