Looks like he has forgotten to include "Standish" in his address.......shouldnt the good folk of Bryn know exactly where he lives?
Was he the one who kept banging on about councillors not living on their own patch?

I believe he did SD, on a now defunct Facebook page.

To be fair, Broady, it’s become a sticky thread and I often miss those as well.

Jo Anne,
Only today and I never read them. I remember from last week. I don’t know why but I saw the name and thought “ car expenses”
Replied: 3rd Nov 2021 at 08:51


Jo anne, they are not "the borough's" councillors.
Replied: 3rd Nov 2021 at 09:53


Sorry Tonker, I worded that badly. Would it have been better to say ‘all the councillors for the wards within Wigan Borough’?
Replied: 3rd Nov 2021 at 10:02

can you claim "car expenses" if you cant drive?

So Gareth resurfaces.
..........and sinks without trace (again)

Gareth got a respectable 353 votes though, Stardelta, only 76 less than the candidate that was elected.
Replied: 26th Nov 2021 at 11:40

He took about 25% of the total vote.
No prizes for third place.
Replied: 26th Nov 2021 at 12:05
So 25% of 15%? That means 3.75 voters per 100 in the ward voted for him. Don’t think that will have Boris/ Kier missing any sleep.
