A FORMER Warrington Borough councillor has been promoted in a mini-reshuffle of the shadow Labour front bench.

Yvonne Fovargue, former Fairfield and Howley councillor and now Makerfield MP, joined the shadow front bench in October 2011 as a whip and is now shadow parliamentary under secretary of state for transport.

She accepted the offer after speaking to leader Ed Miliband on the telephone.

She was actually a half decent Councillor for Howley the first one that ever seemed to get out and about and do things for the borough.

the current crop would do well to see where doing your job properly can actually get you........

It would appear that my earlier comment regarding poor grammar and proof reading has been read, acted upon and then removed. However, there are still errors...
