Tesco - decision delayed
It has now been announced that the council will not after all be able to decide on Tesco's application to develop a new store in the Upper High Street at the December 10 meeting of the Planning Committee. Instead it will be decided at their meeting on 21 January 2010. It is understood that more time is needed because of the complexity of the application and to get replies from the other official bodies that the council needs to consult.

Sir Cyril Remembered
Tributes have been paid to Sir Cyril Smith, former Lib Dem MP for Rochdale, who died on Friday. Party Leader Nick Clegg said "Cyril Smith was a larger-than-life character and one of the most recognisable and likeable politicians of his day. He was a true Liberal, dedicated to his constituency, always showing great passion and determination. Cyril was a colourful politician who kept the flame of Liberalism alive when the party was much smaller than it is today."
