- A £100,000 council loan to a rugby club has caused uproar among opposition councillors who claim the payment was "hidden" from the public and have demanded an investigation. Salford Council gave the sum to Swinton Lions in March to help with cash flow issues, but local Conservative leader Robin Garrido said the decision was not publicised.
