So by your reckoning or so it reads to me we have no Tory councillors working to stamp out the blight of absent landlords? Sorry but can't accept that as I know of at least one Tory councillor who like yourself is pro-active in the area he was appointed to in trying to sort this sort of thing out. There are probably a lot more on both sides who are aiming to sort their various wards out.
Just because you believe the leader of the council to not be pro active on this issue does not therefore follow that all are Tory councillors aren't.
To my mind (probably a new thread) area coucils might not be such a bad idea because our elected councillors of both parties just seem to be interested improving the areas they live in rather than the whole of the borough.
Of course we can discount from that theory the councillors who work tirelessly for wards in which they don't reside. Time you ALL worked together for the residents you were elected to represent IMHO.
