Warren Bradley shortlisted for council leader of the year award
Warren Bradley and chief executive Colin Hilton celebrate being selected a World Cup city
Liverpool Council leader Warren Bradley has been shortlisted for the council leader of the year award by the Local Government Information Unit.
Fellow Liberal Democrat Paul Twigger spilt the beans about it at this morning's executive board meeting.
"It would be remiss not to congratulate Warren as the only Liberal Democrat leader shortlisted for the award," he said.
"Thanks Paul, I'll pay you later," Cllr Bradley joked, looking slightly embarrased by the overtures from Cllr Twigger.
While we are discussing Cllr Twigger he also confessed at the meeting to having sore hands - a result of knocking on loads of doors he said.

Richard Kemp is on the judging panel - so Warren's got no chance.
That's a great picture! Liverpool selected in the Top 12 (or was it 18?) footballing cities in the country, and Bradders goes nuts as if its some massive achievement!
I wonder what he's like every morning: "Yes, that's brilliant - its daytime!"
Or walking along the street: "Oh fantastic, unbelievable, TREMENDOUS - that grass is green! What wonderful leadership I'm showing!"
Or when its raining: "Oh my golly goodness, that water is TOTALLY wet! That's just unbeliebable, I'm off to celebrate this tremendous occasion!"
Wavertree Scamp
He's celebrating because it nailed Liverpool to the floor in delveing a new stadium.
And why not celebrate. It's the World Cup were talking about, not the Wavertree Games after all.
This is shurely shome Misstake? Or should that be with a P?
God knows what the worst council leaders are like.
It would be great if we got the result on May 6th.
And whats all this World Cup nonsense about? What does it mean? What's it for? Does it really matter?
PS Great to see that the invention and creativity of the council's spin-meisters is at full tilt - yet another picture of big noises celebrating. And we all know what happened shortly after Storey and Henshaw were pictured celebrating the Culture thing in similar fashion....
That picture of Hilton - put some gladioli in his mitt, and he could do a turn as Morrissey. All we need then is for Bradley to bounce a bottle of Peroni off his head...
The photo says it all, even Bradley burst out laughing.
I understand that Bradley will be permitted to choose a number of items from the Higways Agency winter catalogue, should he lift the title.
Apparently, Bradley has chosen 3 gritters, a snow plough and a big hole to hide in.
Who is working them ? They look like a couple of glove puppets on speed. I could never manage that with Sooty.
