Coun Margaret Pendlebury
Conservative group leader
IT is hard to believe that it nearly a month since Local, County and PCC elections and for the first time in some time, there is no overall control with any of the political parties at Rossendale Borough Council.
At County Council the Conservatives still hold control and with a new leader in Phillippa Williamson, whom I know will bring strong leadership and direction and will continue delivering the excellent services and investment in Lancashire.
Congratulations to Andrew Snowden, our newly elected Police and Crime Commissioner, the first Conservative Commissioner since the role was created in 2012 and we are extremely fortunate that Andrew lives in Rossendale.
I was going to write a political piece about the current administration, but I decided instead on introducing you the residents of Rossendale to my first-class Shadow Cabinet and they, along with all Conservative councillors, will be scrutinising and holding the administration to account.
