                           <description><![CDATA[Labour Councillors in Preston have demanded more urgent action on &lsquo;Worklessness&rsquo; in Preston as the council's Cabinet decide to appoint a new senior officer to tackle the issue.   At a meeting of the Overview and Scrutiny Committee Labour Councillor for Fishwick Martyn Rawlinson criticised the executive for the delay in deciding how to tackle unemployment rates in the city. The government report on the issue titled &lsquo;Working Neighbourhoods Fund&rsquo; was published six months ago yet the council are no nearer to implementing any new initiatives centred on the cycle of unemployment in deprived areas.   Councillor Rawlinson,...]]></description>

                           <description><![CDATA[Despite being the largest party in Preston, Labour has been once more pushed into opposition by the Tory /Lib Dem Coalition as yet another deal is done to secure power for the Tories in Council.   John Collins will continue as Labour Leader and Leader of the Opposition in Preston. He is joined by Matthew Brown, as Deputy Leader and shadow cabinet post holder for Development.

                           <description><![CDATA[Preston Labour Party
maintained its position as the largest party in Preston, retaining
the total of 24 seats it has on Preston City Council. There was an
impressive gain in Fishwick as hard working campaigner Martyn
Rawlinson took the seat off the Liberal Democrats. The evening was tinged with
sadness as Labour unexpectedly lost the seat of Brookfield.
Jonathan Saksena had been councillor in that seat for over 20
years, but the effects of the Tory/Lib Dem deal – that they would
