Pilton Sucks dotCom

Friends and readers. The recent comment by Councillor Elaine Morris that one or two local projects received more favour than other is correct and is to applauded.

Ms. Morris has stuck her head above the parapet and Pilton Sucks supports her. There was always a nasty smell about how certain projects received as much funding as they did and Ms. Morris is spot on in saying this.

As local projects are in the process in making representation to the Fairer Scotland Funding panel it would be unfair to name these projects but most people know who they are.

Local projects are funded to provide a service to the community not build empires on the back of public funding,and Ms. Morris is only to aware of that as are most of her colleagues.

The recently elected Cammy Day was out and about in the community making noises about fighting the potential cuts to local projects,a very noble sentiment but he should keep in mind that many in the community feel angry at the favoured way one or two projects were treated.

It would appear Ms. Morris has her finger on the pulse and is refusing to be bullied into something different. More power to her elbow as she fights the dying embers of the Labour party cabal.

These projects were not set up to fund jobs for-labour party members or supporters but over the years this has happened,and like many others Ms. Morris is rightly determined to end this old pals act. Forth has some good projects delivering quality services,they are not funded to support political parties or individuals,nor are we in the business of sponsoring a local Labour party newspaper.

So carry on the good work Ms. Morris and don’t be bullied into something you don’t believe in. You have the support of many in the community and of course all us at Pilton Sucks.
