	Sierra Leone's former Ambassador John Leigh goes insane overseas
		Leigh is giving the impression to the outside world that he was cheated during the convention, when he woefully failed to secure none of the delegates to even nominate him, not to talk about having someone to second his candidature.
		Leigh is also giving the impression that the press especially the print media are all against him and that all reports on the print media including that of the Awareness Times, were all ‘rubbish’.
		Leigh insinuated that newspaper reports on the outcome of his humiliation and the shameful scenery he created as he was helped out of the convention centre by security personnel, were mere fabrications.

		Although this seat has suffered as much as any in the region through the decline of traditional mining and textile industries, it is far from being poverty-stricken.
		Light industry for instance, in the form of printing and electronics, is now well established in Leigh, Atherton and Hindley.
		The name itself, meaning "meadow" reveals Leigh’s rural origins and, until the late 1800s, the district was noted for its dairy produce, especially cheese.

	Joan Gordon-Webley: Picking up where she had left off - JAMAICAOBSERVER.COM
		They are getting excited because this is a constituency that has only been held once by the JLP, so naturally it is a constituency that the PNP believes is one of their strongholds.
		To be a constituency representative and not even have a constituency office is scandalous!" she declares.
		Gordon-Webley says that since she entered the constituency, the JLP has opened three constituency offices, and it is the intense on-the-ground mobilisation that she has started that has spurred her opponents into action.

		Stations are often threatening places, with poorly lit, graffiti-covered passages and platforms, vandalised facilities and no staff, said Edward Leigh, Tory chairman of the Public Accounts Committee.
		The condition of stations varies widely, from graffiti-strewn ones such as Market Rasen, in Mr Leigh's constituency of Gainsborough, Lincolnshire, to bucolic stops such as Pewsey, Wiltshire, where the passengers can read Horse and Hound and Country Life, laid out on a polished table in the waiting-room.
		The presence of staff, good lighting and CCTV surveillance at stations were the three most important factors reassuring passengers about their personal safety, but few train operating companies had joined the secure station scheme or the Home Office's safer parking scheme.

		Well known the seat certainly is not, but it is one of the staunchest Labour areas in the north west with a current majority of 18,827 for Lawrence Cunliffe, MP since 1979.

		I know that such a move would inconvenience some of my constituents, but it would offer improved facilities and would undoubtedly help to support and complement another valuable local facility, the local neighbourhood chemist.
