Hazel Blears
The news that Blears would stay in her post was met with shouts of "Hazel out" by protesters in front of Salford Civic Centre. Stephen Kingston, one of the organisers of the demonstration, said: "The reaction is that it shows the Labour party in Salford is completely and absolutely out of touch with their own voters, with the people of Salford. "Labour is supposed to be the party of the working class, so why aren't they listening to the working class in Salford? The campaign will definitely continue. This is just the start of it."
Plans for a 43-storey tower on London's South Bank will cause irreparable harm to the setting of some of the city's heritage buildings, a High Court judge has heard. English Heritage and Westminster City Council are challenging the decision by former communities secretary Hazel Blears to grant permission for Coin Street Community Builders' tower on Doon Street against the recommendation of inspector Philip Wilson (Planning, 22 August 2008, p3).
IMO: As I have frequently said, I spend time in London and to me the proposed tower looks a monstrosity. Photo here. I somehow do not think it will win Blears a 'date' with Prince Charles. This is typical Salford work, perhaps the tower should be called the 'Blears MP Salford corruption tower' or perhaps 'Blears MP Salford fraud tower'. Maybe the taxpayers have the right to name it. A frequent street choice in past for house streets has been 'Pedophile Parade' and 'Letsbe Avenue'.
