Stormy meeting at the Town Hall on Wednesday.
Coun. Margaretta Holmstedt (Liberal, Stoodley) has been caught out AGAIN making out cheques to herself and filling in paperwork for grant applications, this time in respect of the Todmorden Food-Dropin. This is absoloutley ourageous REPEAT behaviour from a woman who has already been caught doing this in relation to November 2012 KidsFest event!
There was a right argy bargy over the Cornholme Railway Station and a working party has been set up to try to obtain £90k for a new railway platform, with both Labour and the Liberals playing politics over sums of money that they are totally out of their depth with. Plus regarding the secretive purchase of Cornholme Vale land there is a bit of politics in this rock solid Labour area. Obviously the Liberal Democrats and the "old gang" intend to sandbag this thing down.
The crackpots wanting to fly peace doves at Stoodley Pike and bang samba drums got another grand, the Tourist Information Centre got £16k, the PCSO funding was continued despite them saying they won't exclusively police Todmorden. And oh yes, the International Wimmin's Day got money too to cover the cost of their Town Hall Hire charge. Nobody at the Council batted an eyelid at the fact that it had made news that the lesbians had abused a man who was the spose of a former Liberal Democrat Councillor, in the presence of their grandson,
