The Original and Best
Starting with a challenge on a local newspaper forum, a group of like-minded readers responded with the formation of the Residents' Alliance at Moreton Community centre, Wirral on the 6th June 2008.
After forming a committee we have moved forwards with a simple but increasingly loud message that has encouraged genuine community-spirited people to come forward to stand as independent candidates. We hope that the information on our newly re-launched website will encourage others to join them and get some good done for their local communities.
It has been a hard fight to gain a reputation for honesty and a voice for truth (with a good bit of humour mixed in!) but it seems the tide has started turning and it is very encouraging to hear so many messages of support from members of the public - particularly those involved in fighting against Wirral council's widely-hated Strategic Asset Review which proposes to close down over half of our Borough's leisure and culture facilities - they have seen first hand the party political process in action and have not been impressed to put it mildly.
In the upcoming months we hope to continue encouraging more and more ordinary people to come forward and change the undemocratic state of affairs which still exists in our Borough.
