IT NEEDS A COMPLETE CLEAN UP,
WITH MORE OLD FASHIONED SHOPS SUCH AS IRONMONGERS, CHANDLERS, A DECENT
ENGLISH CAFE SELLING ROAST MEALS TO
VISITORS, WITH CHARACTER AS IT WAS SOME FORTY YEARS AGO. TODAY IT IS A
SHADOW OF ITS FORMER SELF. WITH GOVERNMENT CUTBACKS AND A WASTE OF
COUNCIL TAX MONEY ON NON ESSENTIAL ITEMS, THE WEST LANCASHIRE AREA IS RUN DOWN. GET BACK TO BASICS OR THE MARKET TRADERS WILL SOON DISAPPEAR.
OPEN UP EMPTY SHOPS OFFERING REASONABLE RENTS. PUT LIFE BACK INTO A DYING TOWN. THANK YOU.

Council services have been severely hit recently, I cannot remember the last time I saw a street cleaner, yet we are still paying the same in council tax. Council workers are stressed out because of their work loads and a lot of maintenance work is not being carried out in the name of cuts, what they don't realise is that one day it will have to be done and it will cost more. Vote for jobs and services.

At the end of the day those at the top should remember that they too are Council Workers. The senior management of any Local Authority should not be compared with the those in the private sector who have to compete and struggle on a daily basis to stay in business. Councillor allowances in WLBC should also be brought in-line with other local authorities. Some of which are unitory and compared to WLBC cover a much wider area and have greater responsibilites.

Senior managers should be open, transparent and accountable to council tax payers. The work of contractors and council employee's to be of the highest standard. Example loose paving flags Skelmesdale Concourse, Ormskirk Town centre loose paving flags and bricks. The the tax payer should bear the cost of repairs/compensation claims.
