Dear Editor,
I’ve just read an article on the above under the names of Cllr Michael Gorman – Deputy Leader and Cllr Nick Mannion – Leader (pictured)
It refers to the submission of the results of devolution consultation and supports the proposal to the Government.
I have commented online, and so has the largest political party who published their comments to this proposal.
Yet this article never mentions any statistics of those in favour or against and I believe others would have also submitted their thoughts on this.
I ask why no figures?
I assume the support is councillor-led by the Labour & Independent Group who are in the majority and no account has been taken of residents or other organisation’s comments.
It would be of interest if you could use your contact arrangements to acquaint the masses of what is going on. If I ask re: FOI it will be strung out etc.
Yours,
Chris Moorhouse

CEC may do ‘consultations’, however, it is already a foregone conclusion whatever they are proposing will go through. Just means rate payers paying out for a Mayor on top of already extortionate monies. AND now, on another subject, it is very highly likely that CEC will be supporting/ sanctioning landlord rental properties for migrants (via Labour government (as cost to rate payers), as part of the SERCO scheme – Asylum accommodation and support services. Serco is a company that provides asylum accommodation and support services in the North West of England, Midlands and East of England. They offer landlords a long-term lease of at least 5 years with guaranteed rent paid on time, every month with no possibility of arrears. They will also make their own repairs and cover the maintenance costs of the property. The utility bills will be covered by Serco so that illegal immigrants and asylum seekers dont have to pay them themselves. Serco also provides training, upskilling and support for employment and business growth.
