Quote: vastman "No, she's deputy leader of WMDC - her loyalties should lay with the whole of the district - your comment sums up totally what is wrong with WMDC.'"
But primarily she's an elected councillor of Castleford Central and Glasshoughton. Her role and responsibility is to represent her local area, so she's going to talk about the area she serves and the people she is representing. She wouldn't be Deputy Leader without being elected first and foremost.
Just like the councillors elected to represent areas of Wakefield will surely be talking about their respective areas too.
