The chairman of Tameside Reform UK, Rob
Barrowcliffe has just told us that the new Reform UK councillors who have been
elected to Tameside Council, have "zero
political experience” but he sees that as a positive thing and not a
negative thing.
A Reform UK councillor in Hylton Castle ward, in Sunderland, has just been suspended because he called for Nigerians to be melted down to fill potholes in the road.
If Reform UK are serious about tackling problems in Tameside, then there are two major issues that need to be looked into urgently and it's not potholes. Tameside is one of the hardest places to acquire an affordable rented home in the social housing sector. Why are young urban professional couples and essential needs workers being prioritised for housing in Tameside?
Second, Tameside must be the HMO capital of Greater Manchester. Everything is being turned into a house of multiple occupation. Like many areas of the North West of England, Tameside is an area in terminal decline. These areas have never really recovered from the deindustrialization of the Thatcher years.
