In the Manchester City Council elections held on 1 May, I was re-elected Councillor for Chorlton with a majority of 259 votes. My 2,126 votes was the highest vote in Manchester.
I am a Labour councillor and I was the Labour candidate. Considering the national situation and that Chorlton was the most marginal Council seat in Manchester, Chorlton was a brilliant result. I couldn't have done it without the help and support of Chorlton Labour Party, Withington Consituency Labour Party, Manchester City Labour Party and many Labour Councillors. We ran an excellent campaign and coped with all that was thrown at us by the Liberal Democrat machine. Chorlton residents were not fooled by the deluge of Lib Dem leaflets. The result really puts Labour in a strong position for the general election challenge.

However, in addition to committed Labour activists, I was touched by the active help I received from many other Chorlton residents who told me that they supported me because of my record as a Chorlton Councillor over the past nine years.
As I promised in the campaign, I will be a Strong Voice for Chorlton at the heart of Manchester's Labour Council and I will Stand up for the Unique Character of Chorlton.
