But the Christmas Cards, which the Labour Councillors delivered, had the name, address and a contact telephone number for their democratically elected councillor. They also had a list of other useful telephone numbers and had a calendar on the back of the card.

I can't speak with certainty as I have not seen the christmas cards, I do not live in a ward with a Labour councillor. Therefore I cannot make judgement on the practicality of the calendar, other than that I have never kept a Christmas card for more than a few weeks. My main point still stands, that I don't believe democratically elected councillors, who represent the people of Hyndburn, should be digging into their own pockets to show people who represent them. I think its discriminatory based on their wealth, and that is wrong.
