    Sefton Council's ruling Labour group has used its numbers to vote AGAINST "working actively with local residents, traders, the 'Southport BID' and local councillors across party to identify and implement methods of addressing the issues affecting the centre of Southport."

    At the Council Meeting last Thursday at Bootle Town Hall. a motion seeking to have the entire community of Southport involved in determining the town's future was voted down by the ruling Labour group.

    Southport Town Centre Councillor Tony Dawson, who had sought the Council's support for involving local people in creating the right sort of town centre for the future, said:

    "Due to the growth of internet shopping as well as competition from newer centres with larger shops, not a single person I have spoken to believes that the shape and size of the retail provision in and around Lord Street can be the same in ten years time as it was ten or twenty years ago. I believe that the residents of this town should be the people who are involved in deciding the future shape of our Southport town centre."

    "Of course it was disappointing that the Bootle Labour Party has voted in this negative way. Sadly, there is an exclusive 'control agenda' still operating in Sefton Council. This can only be to the detriment of Southport which remains the biggest town and the biggest retail centre within the borough."

    "However, I am sure that there are a number of good officers working within the council who will simply ignore the politicians who vote against being inclusive - and who will be happy to listen to the people of our town about the kind of town centre we think is tight and sustainable for the future."

    Note: The motion which the Liberal Democrats supported but Labour voted down read:

    RETAIL CENTRES FIT FOR THE 21ST CENTURY

    This Council, recognising the fundamental changes presently affecting the retail environment of Britain in general, and in Southport in particular, commits itself to:
    (1) working actively with local residents, traders, the 'Southport BID' and local councillors across party to identify and implement methods of addressing the issues affecting the centre of Southport particularly, seeking to be involved actively rather than passively observing piecemeal decline; and
    (2) applying itself similarly to the issues confronting other smaller retail centres located within the communities which are served by the Borough of Sefton.

    Bootle Labour isn’t interested in Lord Street, choosing instead to support its white elephant pet project, Bootle Strand.

    Put the money into something else then,a BETTER idea would be to put the money into getting Southport OUT of Sefton completely instead........Sod all those who want to STAY in Sefton,and let the Southport people get BACK into Lancashire...Or have our OWN councillors to decide what happens to OUR rapidly declining Town.

    Maybe they don’t want to work with Cllr Dawson after his divisive antics over the years. Should be a clear signal for someone new as it’s very clear they can offer little than soundbites about “bootle labour”.

    Finally, with statements in his motion like

    seeking to be involved actively rather than passively observing piecemeal decline;
    you know he’s probably happier they didn’t support so he has something to crow about for his upcoming re-election, same every election time.

    instead of councillors critercising each other why dont they work together. call it a day over past grieviences and get on with the job of sorting our town out. Thats the only way forward. Or is that to much to ask?

    What was the Council motive in rejecting the motion?

    Was it to avoid spending time and money on something intangible, whilst trying to manage a budget squeezed by continuing austerity.

    A dose of realism here.

    You mean the pet project that is making money and paying money into Sefton's bank account. Are you saying that that isn't a good thing.

    So you would be happy for us to compete with Preston and the like instead of Bootle? How do you think that that would be any better. Councils income from Central Government is being reduced year by year whether that be in Sefton or Lancashire.
