The Newcomen election is a further indication that the lack of progress for UKIP is mainly down to the national problems the party is having. The election material used in Newcomen was professional, canvassing done, and postal voters hit too. In fact, the campaign used in Newcomen was almost the same campaign used in Hartlepool to gain seats in 2016. I know the electorate can be frustrating but, in my experience, hitting them is rarely a good idea. So what was your experience? Should we be told? |

Well, bin collections is exactly the kind of things that makes people VERY upset. Garbage stinks in summer. Once every three weeks is a complete nonsense. Here in the remote Highlands we have a weekly collection. In central Italy we have a collection every day except Sunday (including Christmas and New Year, etc.). Britain is quite hopeless at rubbish collection. In Italy the street rubbish bins are collected twice daily and the streets mechanically swept twice a day and three time on market days. |

I wonder if Rebecca Long-Bailey should have been spending more time in Kersal than on the world's least subtle marketing drive. Marketing doesn't have to be subtle to work, you know. It does when you are trying to be subtle though! |

There's some brass neck there. Arnie Saunders has run before without winning. If the Jewish Labour vote has dropped, it's quite clear that Corbyn has had an effect. Elsewhere in that article they write it off as having low turnout. I'm sure that won't be repeated elsewhere. Questioning the importance of an election result because of low turnout is an extremely dangerous game for Salford Labour to play. |

My local authority switched to a 3-weekly cycle for general refuse collection last autumn (from a fornightly cycle), punctuated with weekly recycling and food was collections. Whilst my household copes just fine with this (in fact, on our street the bin lorries now come round earlier than previously, we missed a collection and found that after six weeks the bin still had room to spare), overloaded wheelie bins have now become a common sight in our authority.

No, its Blackley/Broughton (which prior to this week had a full slate of Labour councillors for years)

Well, one of the very few Standards Hearings we had in Crewe & Nantwich involved a Parish Councillor punching a constituent during a planning site inspection. I suspect that was a vote to which he kissed goodbye. |

No, its Blackley/Broughton (which prior to this week had a full slate of Labour councillors for years) I already said that. This is yesterdays news. Why are you repeating something that I already posted? /odo |
