I speak for us all when I say we are facing cuts and these are uneccessary especially when the council hands out superb recycling calendars.

Bare in mind Labour Councillors have paid for Christmas cards themselves for the last few years with plenty of details. There is no need for calendars. This was a response by the council in my view to use council tax payers money for a political purposes.

They haven't put County Councillors details on which would be useful. Cynically I you recall last year the Conservative candidate for County was on side January to June on their own and everyone else on the back July to November.

Conservative councillors I feel should have paid for these themselves and took the time to deliver them where capable.

This week all Councillors McCormacks residents will receive a Christmas card with full details at no cost to the ratepayer.

Personally I would prefer my name or photo to only be used to promote or highlight an issue.
