Oh and just as an afterthought, John Leech Watch has now had over 20,000 hits since 13th May 2005. I'm pleased that something so small can contribute to political discussion in the local area. I forgot to mention something I heard that was interesting recently - I was speaking to some voters in Didsbury and was told that by one resident (Didsbury East ward) that the Labour council had let him down with his street repairs, and that he didn't feel able to vote Labour until things had improved. Apparently though, he was just as unimpressed with his Liberal Democrat councillors. His road was in need of repair - there were some pot holes in road. One local resident, who had been making a concrete drive, used his leftover concrete to fill in the holes. To the residents suprise, they received a leaflet (most likely a "Focus") telling them that the Lib Dem councillors had got their street fixed. Perhaps this is an example of the Lib Dems being extremely diligent, but in the wrong way.
