Labour’s Negative Message Sweeps Through Southfield

We’re now less than 48 hours away from this years’ local elections and the Labour Party are yet again proving they have nothing positive to offer the people of Southfield, the people of Nelson or indeed the people of Pendle.  Their members have been out delivering one of the most negative pieces of election literature I have ever seen.

Their claim that the Conservatives only offer “token candidates who have no idea what the job entails” is completely without foundation, and is frankly hysterical nonsense.   Quite where their quote that a Conservative Town Councillor allegedly said “I don’t care about Nelson” came from and having chaired the meeting in question, I can honestly say that I really don’t know.   The reality is that Labour ought to be explaining why Nelson has never actually moved forward in social or economic terms whilst they’ve had control of the area committee.  The Labour leadership also need to explain to the people of this town why they have nothing to offer anyone other than more of the same and why their approach has merely led to the further decline of the town over the years.

What Nelson so desperately needs is a complete change from the tired old  failed socialist dogma of the past and new councillors who are prepared to take a different approach to dealing with the serious problems we face as a community.  Voting Labour and merely continuing with the same old leftist agenda that has failed our town and community is not the way forward for Nelson.  One has to draw parallels with Horsfield and Boulsworth wards over in Colne, where good Conservative councillors speak up for their local residents and ensure that pressing local issues are properly resolved.

Throughout this years’ campaign, the Conservative message has been consistent, constructive, imaginative, positive and has offered real optimism that by dispensing with the old and ushering in new councillors of a different persuasion and with a real sense of belief that our town can be changed for the better with more than a bit of positive thought.
