I AM appalled at the weak, spineless attitude of the Liberal/Labour cartel that now runs Westhoughton. I refer of course to the decision to halt plans for a bypass near Edges Farm and relieve our congested roads in Daisy Hill on the basis of a few NIMBYs in Edges Farm.

Unable to make a decision, the Lib/Lab cartel has run around like headless chickens wanting to please everybody and annoy nobody.

I'm afraid Mssrs Wilkinson/Ainscough/Gradwell/Chadwick and Hyland, sometimes you have to

make a decision. I haven't seen our fine Conservative representative, Mr Alan Walsh scurrying about looking for somewhere to hide so why do the Lib/Labs have to do so.

What we need in Westhoughton is some good hardworking Conservative councillors like Alan walsh offering steel and commonsense for your council tax money. The Town Council is now a joke and besides overgrown hedges or potholes our weak Lib/Lab councillors aren't

interested.

The situation is sickening and needs some Tories to get us back on track.
