2011 Local Elections
Congratulations on re-election, Councillor Damian Talbot
Labour's winner - Damian Talbot
Labour's winner - Damian Talbot
I am overwhelmed to have been re-elected so emphatically this year and I am really grateful for the support that local people have shown. I hope that I will be able to repay the commitment that has been shown. I’ve now represented Mill Hill Ward on Blackburn with Darwen Council since 2007. I’ve always worked hard for local residents to resolve everyday problems and to ensure that Mill Hill, Griffin, Galligreaves and Witton get their fair share of funding and the best possible services. My ward colleagues and I have secured priority funding for housing regeneration in the Griffin area and I’m also pleased that our Labourcontrolled council has maintained funding for PCSOs which will help to keep crime down.
Labour votes piling up
I’ve ensured that local facilities such as the Community Centre and Library have been protected from the unfair cuts being imposed by the ConDem government
