The local newspaper reports:

‘Mayor-Elect’, [Labour] Councillor Robin Parker, will be investigated after trying to use his influence as a Councillor to get [Liberal Democrat councillor] Jean Ashworth sacked from her job at Rochdale Infirmary. The complaint to the Standards Board related to a series of emails that Councillor Parker sent to health bosses demanding that Councillor Ashworth be disciplined.
