I've resisted until now but..
Somebody..somewhere please tell me something tangible that John Leech has done/delivered for this area in the last 12-15 months?
Here's an example of why I ask: I live on the Merseybank Estate and remember speaking to Keith Bradley about the plans to invest in the shopping parade, a new library, health centre etc.
Something first promised by my Lib Dem Councillors 6/7 years ago.
I wrote to Bradley on this issue and he told me money was in place etc etc but since Bradley's demise, what has happened? Sweet FA.
This estate is crying out for change and investment. It's ok John Leech gooning at me on leaflets when he's got a street light fixed/picked up an empty crisp packet, but an MP should be able to deliver and influence on the things that matter.
Especially when he is both a councillor AND an MP for the area.
To me, it's a case of keeping expectations low and maintaining the poor fabric of an area and blaming the nasty Labour Council as a consequence.
John's whole career is built on perception - tho yes, all politicians of all sides do this to a degree. It's up to Labour to expose this in a considered manner. The yah-boo politics of some party members on this board won't win out and could rebound nastily.
