Gordon Birtwistle & Burnley Liberal Democrats

When people were struggling with ungritted roads, local Lib Dems took action to help.
Councillors Charlie Briggs and Gordon Birtwistle along with Neil Mottershead from Gannow arranged for a supply of grit and were out gritting key areas that had been neglected.

The change of control from Labour to Conservative hasn’t made much difference when it comes to getting our roads and pavements gritted properly in a winter freeze!

Last year we had a Labour run County Council and they didn’t grit the roads properly and refused to refill some grit bins. Now we have a Conservative Council, and again there was chaos as some roads weren’t gritted properly and they refused to refill grit bins.

“We could have avoided this” said Gordon Birtwistle. “Last year Lib Dem County Councillors proposed a £690,000 boost for winter gritting but Labour and Conservative Councillors teamed up to vote that plan down.”
“Conservative Councillors gambled that we wouldn’t have a severe winter. They lost and we are all paying the price.”
