The last time Labour was in control of Lancashire County Council was between 2013 and 2017
A long-serving Lancashire county councillor has become the new leader of the opposition Labour group on the authority – and he says his sole focus is taking control of County Hall from the Tories at next year’s local elections.
“I only have one priority – and that’s to build a team of councillors and candidates who can win the local election and then represent the people of Lancashire at County Hall.“I think it’d be different if you took over a group in year one than it is if you take over at the beginning of year four. Obviously, us activists – from whatever party – are absolutely focused now on the general election that’s to come.
He says his policy preoccupations will be the perennially under-pressure adult social care sector and – perhaps unsurprisingly, given that they have recently been branded the Lancashire public’s top priority – potholes. “, I have tasked our highways spokesperson Kim Snape to go away over the next year and look at innovative solutions to the problem.
“I’ve only ever lost one election – and that was for the county council in 2009 when Gordon Brown was Prime Minister and it was the MPs expenses scandal.
