High Peak Liberal Democrats

What are UKIP doing for you at the County Council?

Cllr John Marriott

At the first meeting of the County Council since the election only UKIP councillors, including the member for Gainsborough Hill division, failed to support a declaration that the council would work to the benefit of all residents regardless of race, creed or colour.

UKIP group leader and and the party's East Midlands regional chairman, Councillor Pain, defended their abstaining from supporting the declaration saying "I cannot support this document. It actually pushes forward the chance of multiculturalism, one of the fundamental things that's wrong with our society."

UKIP also attacked the use of translators in schools and courts and wanted the County News, published quarterly, to be reduced to an annual publication.

Liberal Democrat Councillor John Marriott said: "I would hope our colleagues from UKIP come up with some more practical solutions as to how local government will survive."

UKIP were also concerned that the Tory leader of the Council brings his dog to work on Mondays. Bonkers or what?
