A new school for Reddish?
- The Labour Government gave Stockport Council £4.5 million for a new school in Reddish.
- It was originally allocated to Fir Tree primary school.
- The LibDems chose Harcourt Street playing fields despite BETTER alternatives being put forward for consideration.
- Harcourt Street fields are the site of a former landfill site.
- It was a tip before proper records legally had to be kept. No-one really knows what's in the ground!!!
- The Lib Dem Council's own site investigation report highlights "poisons", "toxic hot spots" and "gassing" on the site.
- The ONLY Councillor to vote against the site being given planning permission was a Labour Councillor.
- Every Lib Dem on the planning committee voted FOR this poisoned site.

Cleaner, Greener??
...maybe in Lib Dem fantasy-land, but NOT in Reddish!
Labour’s David Wilson says, “because I walk and cycle a great deal around Reddish, I see the litter, the fly tipping and missed rubbish collections.
Pictured, David Wilson at a 'grot spot' on Station Road in North Reddish. He has now asked for this to be cleaned up... let's see just how long it takes the Lib Dem council!!

Introducing David Wilson - Labour's local man
Reddish North Labour Party has unanimously chosen local man, David Wilson, to be the Labour Candidate at the forthcoming by-election, to fill the vacancy caused by the death of David Owen.
David is 53 years old and is a local man.
As a child he attended school at St. Mary's RC primary, Heaton Norris and St. Anne's RC High, Heaton Chapel. He is firmly rooted in our community and has lived in Heaton Norris, South and North Reddish for many years.
He is a member of Reddish Working Mens Club and Institute on Greg Street and enjoys reading, current affairs, TV and cinema.
As an active member of the Labour Party in Reddish since 1994, David has been a community campaigner in Reddish North working alongside our local Labour Councillors and Reddish Labour MPs Andrew Bennett and then Andrew Gwynne.
David previously worked in Stockport as a postman, steel and engineering worker. More recently, he has worked as a slinger, storeman, and fork lift truck driver at Crossley Engines Ltd.
David is a GMB union member and has held responsible posts at both shop steward and branch level. He also currently holds the post of branch secretary for Reddish Labour Party.
When it comes to representing people and campaigning hard, David's experience comes second to no-one.

Reddish Euro Delight!
The European Election results were not good for Labour across the United Kingdom. However, here in Reddish North (and Reddish South for that matter), voters painted a different picture. In Reddish, as in the rest of the country, UKIP polled a respectable number of votes. Unlike the rest of the country, however, the Labour vote held up and the party 'topped the poll' by a large margin.
It was a thoroughly miserable night for the Conservatives, who may have hoped to benefit from a surge, but who actually polled a poor 3rd. For the Lib Dems it was a complete and utter disaster - coming a distant 5th place!

Putting Reddish North FIRST...
Saturday, 6 June 2009
Election results here last time
What have the Lib Dems ever done for Reddish?
- Closed Reddish Baths – against the will of the community
- Want to close Reddish library
- Imposed the disastrous Bus Corridor along Gorton Road, bringing traffic to a standstill!
- Neglected Reddish Vale Country Park
- Bungled the bid to the government for money to rebuild Reddish Vale Technology College
- Neglected parks and open spaces
- Can’t even keep the streets clean
- Not so long ago, they wanted to switch off every other streetlight – without Labour exposing their plans, they might have succeeded!
Come on Anne Graham, if you’re so sure about your new party, put it to the test.
See whether Reddish people feel Stockport Lib Dems have served Reddish well!
Remembering Councillor David Owen
DAVID WILSON - Reddish North Labour Party
Farewell David
I was extremely saddened to hear of the death of Reddish North Labour Councillor David Owen (pictured left).
David was a hard-working and dedicated local councillor in North Reddish and was committed to ensuring Reddish had a strong voice on Stockport Council. He was firmly rooted in the local community and will be missed by his many friends and comrades in the Denton and Reddish Constituency Labour Party.
