Dear Editor
Letter for Publication
The current debate over roads versus houses in Edge Hill in many ways is quite misleading.
For everyone accepts that Edge Lane has been several decades overdue for an extension of the M62 and therefore some element of demolition would be needed
However what this Lib Dem Council has done is manipulated this case to add hundreds of Edge Hill homes to the CPO and demolition programme which are not in the way of the road extension
In that respect we welcome the outspoken comments from Jane Kennedy MP
It must be difficult for her because this excessive demolition programme is being funded and supported by her colleague John Prescott.
Jane Kennedy is quite right when she describes it as municipal vandalism, social cleansing and a gross waste of public funds.
It is even more puzzling when we have repeatedly challenged the demolitions (in both Housing Committee and full council ) the Labour Group sometimes voted with the Lib Dems on other occasions did not bother voting at all.
We hope Jane Kennedy would use her position to persuade the Labour Council Group to start acting as an opposition rather than disinterested and confused bystanders
