The World Dock Pudding Championship - One of the biggest days in the Mytholmroyd community calendar and where was Labour?

This year the added attraction of a bit of celebrity in the form of Robbie Coltrane didn’t bring a single Labour MP, councillor or candidate to the event.

Last week :

• No Labour faces at the Mayor’s civic dinner
• No Tory/Labour appearances at the Luddendenfoot Community Assoc. fundraiser
• No local Labour/Tory councillors or candidates for the Hebden Royd cleanup in Mytholmroyd.

Congrats to Darren Kay for knocking the ringer (Mr. Coltrane) into second and winning the Dock Pudding Competition.John Beacroft-Mitchell

PS. If you are Labour candidate/councillor and did go to the Dock Pudding competition please feel free to put me right by posting a comment or sending me an email john@beacroft-mitchell.co.uk.

It’s going to be a straight fight between the Tories and Liberal Democrats for Luddendenfoot Ward this year.

Last year the Liberal Democrats held the ward with the Tories coming second.

Labour dropped behind the BNP for the first time ever.

There is nothing to suggest this year will be any different.

The Liberal Democrats have a good reputation for getting things done in the ward all year round.

It was with a feeling of sadness that I read the announcement in The Hebden Bridge Times that we are going to have a 25 by 8 metre pool with fitness suite, which will rely on council support Quote: ‘to
ensure it’s future success’. I imagine everyone in Hebden Royd would welcome a pool, but it must be developed on a firm financial footing.
