WELL, dear councillors, did you watch the TV and listen to the radio discussions after you were slung out on your necks? What was that phrase we kept hearing from the representatives of all the disappointed parties: "We have to listen to the people".

Did our Liberal Democrat councillors really listen to the electorate over the last few years? No, they were confident that they could push things through by sheer weight of numbers, no matter what objections were raised. Well, now they ain't got no numbers.

Beware, all you new Conservative councillors, not to repeat their follies. Remember that you are all our representatives, not our masters. We electors want you to run the council for the benefit of the whole community, not as a party political game.
