There are those who remain sceptical about the LRC's ability to reach beyond the narrow confines of London. For this reason I'm glad to post picture of our local ceremony the other night when I became Mayor of the town and surrounding villages. With me are LRC members and Labour councillors Dave Young ( pictured left) and Coun Janet Oosthuysen, who is hoping to stand as PPC for Calder Valley. Our good friend and comrade John Wiseman and his dad travelled all the way from St Helens to be there. Thanks to all ........
