MP Andy Burnham has backed calls for Wigan councillor | :00:10. | :00:13. | |
Robert Bleakley to resign after he used a taxpayer`funded mobile phone | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
to send sexist text messages and call sex chat lines. A petition was | :00:18. | :00:21. | |
held today in councillor Bldakley's home town of Tyldesley callhng for | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
him to stand down. Emma Firth reports. | :00:25. | :00:28. | |
The message was clear in Tyldesley today. They want their councillor | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
Robert Bleaklely to go. Led by Labour MP Andy Burnham and local | :00:32. | :00:36. | |
councillors, people were urged to sign a petition asking for his | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
resignation. It's about time that he let somebody | :00:41. | :00:44. | |
come in who wants to build Tyldesley up. | :00:45. | :00:47. | |
Very disappointed. And time to go. Robert Bleakley was found to have | :00:48. | :00:52. | |
racked up a bill of over ?2,000 on his council mobile phone, which he | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
used to call sex chat lines and send explicit and sexist text messages. | :00:57. | :01:02. | |
Wigan Council has now banned him from having any contact with women, | :01:03. | :01:07. | |
but they don't have the powdr to remove him from his post. | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
What kind of message would ht send to young people about polithcs if | :01:11. | :01:14. | |
nothing is done? So there ndeds to be a right of recall of MPs and also | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
an ability to remove councillors who don't meet the accepted standards. | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
We've tried to contact Councillor Bleakley today at his house but have | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
had no response. Earlier in the week he told North West Tonight he | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
apologised to any women he had offended but said he had no | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
intention of standing down. I've always said I'm going to serve | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
a full term until 2016. I al not a quitter. | :01:37. | :01:41. | |
Those signing the petition, hope this will make him think | :01:42. | :01:43. | |
