New ground

[Mr Rebel]

RD, I don't think Rob Anderson stood to be elected as councillor for Britwell and Northborough. Labour still held the ward and Rob Anderson is still the council leader.

 

certainly isn't council leader anymore according to this: http://www.sloughobserver.co.uk/news/14477981.Change_in_Slough_council_leadership_revealed/

[HorshamRebel]

Yep, His borough wasn't up for the vote, so he is still a councillor, but he has lost his place as leader of the council from a vote from all the new and continuing councillors

Slough Observer says Rob Anderson and James Swindlehurst have lost there positions as leader and deputy of Slough Council.

I looked for the details but initially couldn't find any but you're right RD.

[Desarico]

it seems that the slough labour party held an internal vote  regarding the leader and deputy leader and both lost there status 3 to 1 i think the new leader is nawaz and deputy  choudry (but i think the names are wrong)

The new leader is Sohail Munawar and deputy leader is Sabia Hussain.

Whilst on the subject, well done to Ted Plenty for winning the St Mary's Langley ward.

Looks like you've got a Council takeover rather similar to the London Mayor election result !!

[David Carpenter]

I don't understand the connection you are making JR. The council elections held in Slough on Thursday were for, on the 3 year rotational basis employed, 14 seats out of 43. Labour held 11 seats and gained 1 from the Conservatives and the Conservatives held 2 and lost 1 to Labour. Labour hence maintained their overall control of the Council with an increased majority of 1 seat. At the Labour AGM the following day the Leadership and Deputy Leadership of the party/council were then changed by vote. So no Council takeover. 

[Irishadrian]

Pretty sure he was alluding to an internal takeover in the local Labour party Swindlehurst and Anderson are both members of a small ethnic group and thats the way things go nowadays.

Exactly the point I was making without being accused of being racist, which I am NOT.

 

In my working days, I often had to visit Slough and I am fully aware of the ethnic diversity.

[Irishadrian]

Big J R Dont worry nothing remotely racist about having the local Labour party's make up explained The vote went with the majority wishes just democracy in action.

[David Carpenter]

I wasn't making any comment regarding racism but I just didn't understand the connection with the London Mayoral election.

Have to disagree.

 

The Orchard sounds more like housing development than a sports ground. 

[RebelDelaney]

Council community football stadiums Colchester Utd sponsored by Weston Homes Brighton&Hove known as American Express Community Stadium.

Are Slough Council looking at the ground being sponsored!!!!!.

Also has the rent we pay been agreed.
