It's over 2 years since I got elected to the Council and I must tell you that things seem to have changed in that short time. We now have an excellent Liberal Democrat MP in Paul Rowen, Liberal Democrats now have all the members on the influential Cabinet and I continue to work hard alongside my colleague - Councillor Zulfiqar Ali for the residents of Central Rochdale. Lots of positive things have happened in Central Rochdale since electing Liberal Democrat Councillors, these include the fabulous regeneration of Unique Mill and many more. I know that my former colleague - Shah Wazir played a major role in this and is rightly proud of the work that has been done. I don't pretend though that everything is perfect, work is need, especially to improve our environment and I look forward to the challenges ahead.
