I MUST challenge the story regarding Richard Buttrey and the elected mayor.

How is the current executive not democratic? We have 45 Labour councillors from 57 in the borough so of course it is Labour dominated.

And which party does he think the people of Warrington would elect mayor? I imagine it might be red.

All at a cost of tens of thousands of pounds to a local authority which already is running out of money.

I suggest Mr Buttrey thinks again.
