Leyland's Worst Ever Councillor?

Leyland Central Tory Councillor Ray Woodburn has attended just FOUR meetings since April 2008. Councillor Woodburn, who was bottom of the attendance league of councillors last year, has an even worse record for this year.

When he was elected to the Council in 2007 Councillor Woodburn promised several things.

• He wanted to bring back the weekly bin collection

• He said we should have free car parking in Leyland

• He promised to SPEAK UP FOR LEYLAND

Considering his shocking attendance record it is hardly surprising that

• There has been no going back to weekly bin collections

• The cheapest charge for parking in Leyland has just increased to 50p

• Councillor Woodburn has failed to speak at all at any of the meetings he has attended

Councillor Matthew Tomlinson, Labour leader at South Ribble, says

“It is time for Councillor Woodburn to do the decent thing and resign. He is failing the people of Leyland. Frankly, we believe our residents deserve better.”
