Topic : Adrian Naylor resigns to become an independent Councillor for Silsden |
|
| Peter |
THE RESIGNATION LETTER > www.silsden.net/town_council/docs_12/12_notice/Adrian_Naylor_independent_councillor.pdf  Good luck Adrian.  Silsden needs someone fighting in our corner on the Bradford Council. |

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm I just wonder why he got the order of the boot if he was doing such a fantastic job? something a bit fishy going on here I feel, nothing to do with the large amount of money he claimed/earned on the council? here are the figures for the last three years 2011 £34,000 2010 £42,000 2009 £37,000 might stand myself with this type of money being handed out |

Localman you should have done a bit more research rather than pick the headline figure. The bulk of the extra money paid to Councillor Naylor over the last 3 years comes from: Special Responsibility Allowance (SRA) is an extra allowance payable to councillors who have significant additional responsibilities such as the Leader of the Council, members of the Executive and chairs of committees. The amount of Special Responsibility Allowance varies according to the type of responsibility and is based on a percentage of the Leader's allowance. FOR FULL DETAILS: www.bradford.gov.uk/bmdc/government_politics_and_public_administration/council_budgets_and_spending/councillors_statement_of_earnings It looks like Councillor Naylor has been earning his money by working for the community to me. |

By standing as an independent, there is a danger that the conservative vote will be split and this may mean that labour win just a thought.I do not think that cllr naylor will get enough votes to win unless labour supporters vote for him as wll |

A split vote and a Labour win. Great. Could do with less of the Tory hegemony in these parts. Curious to know why the Tory party gave him the ootb though? I know Tories and communists have a lot in common like looking after number one, centralised control of everything etc. Must have upset the party line, or party bosses. |

Someone said to me that the Tories have taken up Labour's policy of giving favoured son's "safe seats". Anyway enough of party politics lets have councillors who reflect the views of voters rather than parties.It is after all a Labour led council that wants to dump house's on Silsden. |

so what were the complaints raised against him? I would really like to know as a voter who lives in silsden, I think I have a right to know what the people who claim to represent me have been up to. |

Until recently he was one of the Tories' leading lights. Shouldn't voters be told why they've kicked him out? Can't recall it happening before. What's the big mystery? |

The Labour party election leaflet has dropped through the door. No mention of the proposed(by Labour controlled Bfd Council) housing in fact the word "Silsden" doesnt appear once. Its all national issues. Local issues for local elections I say. |
|
| ginjo |
I agree gazzer, we want to hear what each candidate thinks about the expansion of silsden |
|
| GAMEKEEPER |
Why does that not surprise me Gazzer. Bradford Met are not interested in anything other than the city of Bradford. Road sweeper - annual, if we are lucky. Street wardens - a report of one in Silsden last week, first time in a year. Maintenance of roads and street lighting - none existent. Even the PCSO's appear to have gone to ground. |

The Labour candidate was at the coffee morning at ST James's last Saturday.I asked her what her opinion on housing was and she said she was against it,by the way she has lived in Silsden for the past 12 years. |
|
| ginjo |
what is her name? |
|
| victor |
Her name is Val Carrol,and she lives in what was the Kings Head up North street. |

Wharfedale councillor resigns in protest over ‘forged’ document sent to Metro by Council T & A 17th June 2011 Councillor Chris Greaves: “I am unable to remain a member of the Conservative group at the present time because the group leadership, despite my specific advice, has not pushed for a full and thorough independent investigation into the issuance of a forged letter which may have serious legal implications. “As chairman of Metro, once I was made aware of the forged letter I was required to report the matter and treat it with the seriousness it requires in order that the standards expected in public life are maintained.” Ilkley Gazette 16th February 2012 www.ilkleygazette.co.uk/news/9534698.Wharfedale_councillor_kicked_out_of_Conservative_Party/ Looks like it was a stitchup with no right of appeal. ___________________________ ..... and this sounds familiar, but a bit closer to home..... Councillor to stand as independent candidate T & A 15 March 2012 A former Conservative councillor says he will stand as an independent candidate for his Craven ward seat. Councillor Adrian Naylor: Councillor Adrian Naylor resigned from the party this week after he failed to win selection from Keighley and Ilkley Conservative Association. He remains in the Craven seat as an independent councillor, and says he plans to stand as an independent councillor. He failed to make it onto a shortlist of candidates in November, and appealed against this. The appeal date is set for March 22. Keighley and Ilkley Association recently pressed ahead with the selection process, choosing Andrew Rowley as its Craven ward candidate. Councillor Naylor said: “I have an issue with the small group of people who’ve delayed and manipulated the process and have not provided a proper explanation of why it has taken four months to hear my appeal.” Bradford Council Conservative group leader Coun Glen Miller said the group leadership was recommending Coun Naylor’s suspension from the group as a result of complaints from a member over “group issues”. Coun Naylor criticised the leadership for “acting as judge and jury” when they had not discussed the matter with him and come to the conclusion without hearing both sides. |

I see Mr Rowley say's that if he is elected for Craven he will move to the area. Surely the wrong way round. Why not move to the area first? |

What was the outcome of the appeal? (Fred's post from March 18th says this was scheduled for March 22nd) |
|
| jonno |
Appeal never took place as Naylor resigned from the Tory party (after Rowley was appointed, before the appeal took place) and forfeited his right to appeal. |

Has this issue any thing to do with the evection at the town council meeting the other evening?????? |
