Following the successful campaign your local Labour Councillors fought in partnership with the community to close the sex shop on Laird Street. We faced yet another unwelcome proposal which involved the installation of a mobile phone mast on the pavement very close to the new doctor’s surgery on Laird Street. We strongly felt that the proposed phone mast was against the best interests of the local community.

Supported by Labour Ward Councillor Cllr Ann McLachlan, the local community organised a petition which attracted 195 signatures.

The petition was presented on behalf of the Community to a meeting of the Full Council last Monday by Cllr McLachlan, ready for when the proposal was due for consideration by the Council’s Planning Committee on the following Thursday.

Cllr Ann McLachlan attended the Planning Meeting on behalf of the Local Community, where the Planning Committee was told that Vodafone had withdrawn the application. No doubt the prompt actions of the Local Community supported by the local Labour Councillors was a major factor in Vodafone’s decision.

Another victory for the Local Community with the support of Labour Councillors

It is with great pleasure that I report that this evening Councillor Ann McLachlan has been reselected to stand as Bidston St James Ward Labour Parties official candidate for the 2010 local elections.

Ann has been an excellent Councillor and ambassador for Bidston St James Ward and we are confident of her continued success.
