Pro-Business, councillor Kieran Quinn
Among the higher echelon's of Tameside Labour Party, Corbyn is less popular with the top brass who run Tameside Council. 'Proudly pro-business', Tameside Labour Council leader, Kieran Quinn, voted for Yvette Cooper during the original Labour leadership contest and is in favour of a woman leader.
Quinn, a former post office worker and CWU official, believes that local government is the most efficient form of government. He would believe that, wouldn't he? Both Quinn and his wife Susan, who is also a Tameside Councillor for Droylsden East, pull-in between them over a hundred grand a year in councillors' allowances and expenses including being Chairman of the Greater Manchester Pension Fund and as a Director of New Charter Housing. Although Quinn is reluctant to personally answer correspondence sent to him, he believes that councillors are more accessible to local people than MPs.
Brian Bamford, the Secretary of Tameside Trades Union Council, has told NV that he has been waiting for years to get a written reply from pro-business councillor Quinn, to two letters that he sent him regarding the council's relationship with the construction company Carillion, who have been forced to pay millions in compensation for 'blacklisting' British construction workers.
A local branch of 'Momentum' is now having monthly meetings at the Station Hotel, on Warrington Street, Ashton. Its second meeting takes place on Monday 15 August at 6.30pm. Blairite Jonny Reynolds and the derided carpet-beggar's who run Tameside Council, ought to be wary of deselection and losing their lucrative positions. The 'mighty' Quinn, presides over a council where one-third of the councillors are either married couples, couples or otherwise related, in what is effectively, a one party state of Tameside. It sounds like a shake-up is long overdue and necessary. Now is the time to clean out the Augean Stables.

Mr quinn is also head of the deal to sell the old two trees high school and grounds in denton off to the highest bidder, for 220 houses ( big ones to boost council tax revenue-he says )in an area where there is almost no other open space ..It's green field and believed by locals to be essential to carry on as a school as the birth rate is rising rapidly here. The new high school was built as an alternative but with no room to extend it in a very short sighted bit of planning.There is no infrastructure to cope with any more houses in this densely populated area. Traffic is a disgrace already.This school is a necessity. Local children will soon have no place available at a local school. We are surrounded by brown field sites he can sell off....but hey-ho as it's surrounded by ex council stock (new charter ) as well privately owned it appears the money grubbing labour leader doesn't care. All local labour councillors are fighting against him on this. Rightly so.
