Scotforth West councillors ignored my letter

All 3 of the existing councillors for Scotforth West ignored my recent letter sent to each them - so much for listening to the people and hearing what they say. Sadly the party system means that individual councillors don't have the freedom to do what voters want. Instead we have today's equivalent of the 'smoke filled rooms' where backroom deals are done. Only you - the voter - can change that. Start on 5th May by voting CHARD.
