 We have had a busy day in Askam today which was even better given the nice weather. I started off when my wife and I joined Dalton Councillors, Jill Heath, Kath Unwin and Bill Bleasdale, as well as other Barrow Councillors at the opening of the refurbished Community Centre. The Dalton team have been the real driving force behind this, negotiating a deal with Barrow Borough Council and getting the building refurbished. The contractors have done a great job and Askam now has a Community Centre hopefully for many years to come.
We spent the afternoon canvassing around Dalton and the response was very favourable. I guess my highlight was meeting a shipyard worker who told me about the delays already happening and who said anyone who claims the timetable set out in 2006 will be met is ‘living in cloud cuckoo land’, he accepted that my argument that we just don’t know the extent to which Labour have delayed the successor programme and he said we would have to sort it out, but he had more faith in the Tories than ’this lot’.
We’re having tomorrow off for Mothers Day, so I hope all Mums have a nice day tomorrow. |
