David Grant - There is no UKIP candidate in Eccles because the person who was supposed to stand didn't get his nomination papers in before the deadline. And none in Winton because the party just didn't have anyone. UKIP contested 12 out of 20 council seats in 2014, 14 in 2015 and now 19 out of 21 (including a by-election) this year.

Today Tory Leader said "councils could be trusted to keep taxes low while getting things done and delivering more for less". With Osborne on track to demand £50million more cuts in Salford can the Tory candidates say how cutting £50million turns into delivering more? Tory lies will not prosper.

Probability is Labour voters in Salford make up the majority of 10,000 disappeared from the Council Tax list plus 12,000 not having re-registered under the new right to vote system. This looks to rob Salford Labour of 16,000 votes at the election. Expect to see the Salford Labour stranglehold very upset.

SALFORD STAR – 15 YEARS OF ATTITUDE AND LOVE XXX

The Salford Star closes tonight after 15 years of giving the community a voice, holding power to account and bigging up all the great things that have happened in the city.

Thousands of people in Salford have been involved in one way or another with the Star and we'd like to thank them all. Salford is a very special city and, hopefully, we've given it a very special community publication.

SALFORD STAR CLOSURE – GUY GRIFFITHS ON THE HUMAN COST OF PATHFINDER DEMOLITIONS

Star date: 16th May 2021

THE HUMAN COST OF REGENERATION

The Griffiths brothers of Higher Broughton are kind of infamous as the only people to be forcefully evicted from their house as part of the Pathfinder 'housing market renewal' project during the first decade of the 21st Century.

Here, Guy Griffiths, now living in 'sunny' north Wales and one of the main inspirations for the Salford Star's creation, writes the second part his own personal view of the Government project that devastated communities throughout Central Salford.
