LGR Paused!

LGR Update - Locally Labour MP’s in Nottinghamshire are claiming credit for the sudden pause of the LGR.

In a similar vain, Reform are also claiming this as their victory, despite voting to see Gedling and Brotowe join the city.  I will credit them for at least sending 1 letter which just answered for answers to various procedural questions.

What both sides forget, is that it was the Conservatives who campaigned against this, sent a letter to the minister to say no and ask for a referendum.  The Conservatives also did a petition against this move, that 6354 residents signed.

This petition was set up before Reform got elected and well before Michael Payne MP got involved, in fact it was over 2 years ago.

This victory is not that of our Labour MP’s or Reform Councillors.  It’s not even a Conservative Victory.  This victory was o my made possible by all those people who live in Gedling and signed our petition.

I would personally likely to thank each and everyone of you.

Kind regards

Cllr Darren Maltby
