Keep up the good work

The status quo was maintained on Warrington Borough Council following the local elections, with the joint administration between the Lib Dems and the Tories set to continue for at least another two years.
Although there were a couple of surprises, most notably at Hatton, Stretton and Walton
where the Tories made a surprise gain from the Lib Dems at the expense of Peter Walker and at Penketh where Labour stalwart George Warburton lost out, again to the Tories, there was no overall change in the council, although the Lib Dems made gains from Labour in Bewsey and Whitecross and in Whittle Hall.
Surprisingly to some, the joint administration appears to be working reasonably well and it is refreshing when local politicians can put their political differences behind them – as the needs of the local community should always come before party politics.
Despite close working relationships with the borough council I have never been afraid to make my view point known if I believe those in power have got something wrong – so it is only right that when they do something well it should be pointed out.
I recently had the honour of presenting one of the prizes at the Borough Council’s annual staff awards when I
presented the ‘investing in our communities’ award to the Family Reading Service, who were rewarded for being
actively involved in initiatives to support the community – something very close to our hearts here at warrington-worldwide.
They were one of 28 finalists at the awards ceremony, instigated by the counci last year to recognise the achievements of their employees.
The event proved to be a great success and it was good to see those running the services in our town being recognised for their hard work and dedication.
Keep up the good work!
