The letter was penned to the current Rochdale MP George Galloway with a similar message sent to all group leaders in the borough

Rochdale ’s council leader has called for “a less confrontational and aggressive” election after a Labour candidate had a brick thrown at their window.

The letter from Coun Emmott reads: “There are two reasons I am writing to you. First, to urge you to make contact with me or my team so that we might brief you on work we were doing with your predecessor, the late Sir Tony Lloyd, to represent the town’s interests. “Second, I implore you to do everything in your power to ensure the remainder of this local election campaign is conducted in a less confrontational and aggressive manner than it has been so far. One of our candidates’ homes was attacked last week with a brick which, mercifully, did not break the window beneath which his young children were sleeping.
