    Wednesday night's full Council meeting saw a new Chair appointed to its Audit & Governance committee.

    And Skelmersdale North Councillor Neil Furey - whose appointment prompted a spat with opposition groups Our West Lancashire and the Conservatives - has already taken a dig at OWL (read on)

    This morning, he told QLocal: "I am delighted to be appointed Chair of the Council's Audit and Governance Committee.

    "I have previously chaired other committee meetings and I am grateful for the trust shown in me by the Leader of the Council and my Labour Group colleagues.

    "However I was disappointed with the comments made by opposition Councillors from Anti-Student Lobby Group, Our West Lancashire.

    "I have worked on Committee meetings for the last 12 years and have carried out my duties to a very high standard.

    "As Chair of a committee it is my role to ensure we examine carefully decisions made by this Council and scrutinise policies of the Council. As Chair of a committee I am not 'party whipped' and neither are other members of the committee.
    "It has taken opposition Councillors some 4 years to discover scrutiny and they clearly have a lot to learn.

    "Choosing a Chair of a committee meeting is not scrutiny. It is what work is done by members on the committee that counts. As the new Chair of the Audit & Governance Committee I will ensure our work is carried out correctly and I will allow all members to have input into our deliberations.

    "I intend to make full use of my experience and skills in contributing to our Council Services. In addition to delivering our priorities to transform our town centres, build new leisure centres and affordable housing.

    "I expect Our West Lancashire will continue with their priorities to campaign against students and broken bin lids," he concluded, tongue in cheek.

    This from a man who has never had a nights sleep disturbed by rampaging students, had large areas of his town and family homes handed over to none tax paying student accommodation decimating that community, doesn’t have parking issues and from the party who’s only forward looking plan is to fill the town with student accommodation. Yes you’ve got it he doesn’t even live in Ormskirk.


    The stewardship of the Town of Ormskirk has been usurped by an ultra left wing political party who’s councillors identify with Liverpool, not Lancashire and in general terms couldn’t give a stuff for the residents of Ormskirk and local area. You get what you vote for!
