well said gayle!! Doug I don't have a scanner but the letter is as follows:

Sir - I was amused and a little angered by a quote in your paper last week from Councillor Peter Britcliffe.
He said "Councillors do not have good records of running businesses which is why we are letting the professionals do it."
What is the council if it is not a business with a £10M budget? What else is the council elected for but to run the business of Hyndburn?
Perhaps this goes some way to explaining why our council run by the conservatives is continually in debt, if it is run by people who are not professional enough to run it.
Laughably this was Councillor Britcliffe's excuse for hiving off yet more of the borough's assets.
Perhaps it is time we elected some councillors who were capable of running businesses while there is still something to run - Yours etc..
