For goodness sake give her a break, sorry but reading the comments on this thread would put the bravest person off IMHO. Give her a chance the lot of you, in fact in reflection I wonder if an outsider might not be the best choice for both sides. Ok Graham might be a great ward councillor as is Peter in his ward(or neither of them would still be elected councillors for their area) but maybe we need somebody who is looking at the whole of the borough with no prejudice for any given area. Just my thoughts
