He is your councillor but said he didn't deal with council matters? Contact the council personally? Isn't that exactly what you are doing by contacting him? I'm in Central Ward and I can't speak his language so how the heck would I go on? I expect my representative on the council to actually be able to represent me. Is that too much to ask? I don't care what creed, colour or ethnic origin they are any more than I care about what brand of socks they wear. I don't give a hoot what language they speak at home but here in England on an English council in an English town I would at least expect them to be able to communicate with others in English. I don't think I'm being unreasonable.

If I lived in France (for example) and had a councillor who could speak English I'd be chuffed to bits, but if I then found out he couldn't speak French and didn't deal with council matters I would be highly dischuffed. It's madness. What the heck is he on the council for???
