FOCUS on Lib Dem apology
BREAKING NEWS…. BREAKING NEWS…. BREAKING NEWS….
Windmill Youth Centre TRUTH The truth about
Windmill Youth and
Community Centre is
that it was threatened
with closure because
the Conservative/Lib
Dem government has
cut Leeds’ budget by
£160 million over the
last few years.
One of the first coun-
cillors to know about the
community centre review
was Cllr Stewart Golton
in his role as Lib Dem
leader on the council’s
powerful executive
board.
But it was Cllr Karen
Bruce who was the first
councillor to let Wind-
mill know it was under
threat and immediately
started a campaign to
save it.
Cllr Stewart Golton
agrees: “local Labour
councillors have been
busy collecting signa-
tures” to save Windmill.
Cllr Karen Bruce said:
“I made Peter Gruen the
deputy leader of the
council visit Windmill to
meet the young people
and then agree to a plan
to keep it open.
Cllr Peter Gruen said:
“Karen made me see
how important Windmill
is to Rothwell.”
Cllr Karen Bruce said:
“We only saved it be-
cause Windmill and your
Labour councillors are
working hard to get
more local community
groups to use it.
“I’ve already got a ban-
ner outside advertising it
and am encouraging local
groups to use it.”
Local Liberal Demo-
crats have got it
wrong on crime as
West Yorkshire Po-
lice say crime has fall-
en in Rothwell.
The part night-time
switch off of street lights
has been welcomed by
many residents as being
good for the environ-
ment as well as saving
council tax payers’ mon-
ey. As it’s only a few
lamps on each street, no
streets are in darkness
anywhere. When asked
Cllr Golton couldn’t
name a single street with
a blackout!
Most house burglaries
aren’t committed at
night, but during the day
when people are out at
work.
Despite brutal govern-
ment cuts Labour coun-
cillors have voted to in-
vest in keeping police on
the streets protecting
communities.
Instead of being tough
on crime Lib Dems want
to reduce or abolish pris-
on sentences for some
drug and other crimes.
Cllr Karen Bruce said:
“It’s great news crime
has fallen in Rothwell
ward, but I’m worried a
re-elected Tory/Lib Dem
government would cut
police on the streets.”
