Character and Determination will see us win through in 2009 - 23/12/2008 |
 In a seasonal message to his constituents Wythenshawe and Sale East MP, Paul Goggins, has said he believes their strong character and determination will see them through what is likely to be a difficult year ahead.
“My constituents recognise that global economic pressures are beginning to have a real impact on their day to day lives. From recent conversations across the community it is clear that people are increasingly worried about paying the bills and keeping their jobs.
“But they also remember that in the previous two recessions the Conservative government stood back and let the economy take care of itself. It has taken years to repair the damage caused in the 1980s and 90s when the needs of hard working families were ignored and hospitals, schools, housing and policing were left without vital funding.
“Labour is determined to keep the economy moving – borrowing to invest now and keep people in work, rather than borrowing later to keep people on the dole.
“ I will do all I can in the coming months to support local businesses and work with local schools and colleges to make sure that my constituents have the skills and confidence to make the most of the upturn when it comes.
“In the past year this constituency has received visits from three Cabinet Ministers -the Prime Minister, the Home Secretary and the Health Secretary. All have remarked on the positive way in which local people strive to make a decent life for themselves and their families. Whilst 2009 is likely to be a very tough year, I believe that once again their strong character and determination will see them win through.”
