Bizarre moment Manchester councillor puts on faceless MASK during debate... leaving leader with her head in her hands
Politics in Manchester is never dull. At the final meeting before the local elections in May, councillors argued over education, housing and parks.
Coun Karney has previously warned that police could be called to 'flare ups' at polling stations as people without ID are turned away. Speaking at a full council meeting on Wednesday , he said that this is creating 'real concerns'. However, he was told that the meeting was being broadcast on the council's website and this platform should not be used for electioneering at this time. Nevertheless, many councillors did not heed the advice from the city solicitor.
The Greens and the Lib Dems rejected the Labour amendments with two of their councillors voting against the amended motion and others abstaining. But outnumbered by the Labour group's 90 members, the motion passed. There was no agreement, however, over the future of Central Retail Park. The Lib Dems tried to force a debate about the plans for the site by submitting an emergency motion which called for a public park to be created on the land.
"Our mental health, physical health and polluted lungs can't wait. Ancoats and New Islington needs a proper park as soon as possible. The Lib Dems are committed to achieving that."
