Council Leader "Puts Labour Before Jobs in Manchester" in Casino Legal Action Climbdown1.05.00pm BST (GMT +0100) Thu 12th Jun 2008
Manchester Lib Dem Leader Cllr Simon Ashley has accused Council Leader Richard Leese of "putting the Labour party before the interests of Manchester" after it was revealed today that the Council would not take legal action against the government for breach of promise when they cancelled Manchester's Super Casino and the 3,000 jobs it would have brought to the City. Cllr Ashley said today: "Richard Leese has caved in. He has put the Labour party's interest before Manchester's interests."
