Talking Politics by Councillor Zulfiqar Ali - An affront to democracy!
The campaign is going very well, we've just come back from yet another days canvassing. I have been inundated with messages of thanks because the Liberal Democrats have delivered FREE RESIDENT'S PARKING for residents who live near the Infirmary. As a Cabinet Member for Community Cohesion and Housing I have played a big part in this, alongside my mentor - Councillor Khalid Mahood. We have kept a clear promise to the people of Central Rochdale and delivered this FREE, unlike Labour who wanted to charge £50. Residents are quite rightly pleased - why should people have to pay to park outside their houses.
