Councillor Shah Wazir - Calling for Rochdale Council's Housing Crisis to be looked at.

34 applications for every Council House in Rochdale!

Rochdale Lib Dem Deputy Leader Councillor Shah Wazir has slammed Rochdale Council after it emerged that there is an astonishing average of 34 applications for every Council House. Shah, Rochdale Lib Dem Spokesperson on Regeneration said, "I knew the situation was bad but this is outrageous. Rochdale Borough-Wide Housing needs to look at this issue seriously - it is simply unacceptable. We are letting down some of our most vulnerable people - these statistics should be a wake up call to every Councillor in the Borough. We need to look at building more Council Houses in Rochdale - there is a real crisis in the Borough."

New Year's Message from Charles Kennedy

At this time of year, we need to remember those worse off than ourselves. This Labour government keeps telling us that Britain is getting better; but it's not getting better for everybody. Unfairness divides our society. Inequality is worse than under Margaret Thatcher. We have an unfair tax system which means those on the lowest earnings pay more of their income in tax than the richest. Yet the new economy and the new information society have brought challenges and opportunities which should enable every individual to have the chance to make the best of their lives. These are challenges which I am determined my party will rise to.
