Councillor Tony Brough (Ainsdale Ward)

Councillor Tony Brough the Leader of the Sefton Conservative Group and a Councillor for Ainsdale has expressed his great concern over the decision made by the Liberal Democrat Group to resign their seat on the Planning Committee to which they are entitled under the Council’s Constitution.

On Tuesday evening, Sefton Council’s Overview & Scruitiny Committee met to consider the results of the cycle lane consultation, which was published earlier this month.

Southport Conservatives are demanding that Sefton Labour listen to the people of Southport and abandon their plans to impose more cycle lanes on the town.

The Southport Conservative council group have decided to retract a requisition for a full extraordinary meeting of the council to discuss the consultation into the cycle lane proposals for Southport.

Southport Conservative councillors and campaigners, have hit back at claims from Sefton Labour that ‘hundreds and thousands of cycle journeys’ have been made on the supposedly temporary cycle lane on Hoghton Street and Chapel Street.

During a heated debate at the recent Sefton Council meeting, Conservative Councillor Mike Prendergast, has criticised the Labour Party in Sefton for presiding over a failing Children’s Social Services Department.

Sefton’s Conservative Councillors were recently given a tour of the newly refurbished Southport Market which is scheduled to open towards the end of June.

£37.5Million Moore for Southport!

I am delighted to learn that the efforts of Southport’s M.P. Damien Moore to draw down ‘real cash’ from the Government’s ‘Town Deal Fund’ have been fully rewarded.

The Labour Party in Sefton are being heavily criticised following the recent announcement of a special Cabinet meeting that will be held behind close doors on 24 June 2021.

Local Campaigners have been ‘disappointed but unsurprised’ by the announcement this week that
the cycle lane project introduced down Hoghton Street and Queens Road last summer will now be
expanded to include areas of Churchtown, Crossens and Birkdale Village.
