'I am proud': Former council leader in political comeback as he's elected to new authority
An unlikely Greater Manchester political comeback has taken place with this year’s local election results.
The Labour man saw his political career reduced to ruins in 2021, after he lost his Failsworth West seat to Mark Wilkinson. Mr Wilkinson is a member of the Failsworth Independent Party.Following his win, Mr Fielding said he was 'proud' of his election, and pledged to 'work with local people'. A statement to the MEN said: "I am proud to be one of the two first Labour Candidates to win a local election in Breightmet since 2016.
"Of course, the area is not without its challenges but I look forward to working with local people and organisations, and using the levers afforded to me through being a councillor, to help address them." The party had a good night overall in Bolton, gaining five seats. Conversely, the Conservatives lost seven representatives.
