John you make the claim that a politically free local government wouldn't work, but you give no reasons as to why it wouldn't.

Local politics should be divorced from national politics, as they are entirely different animals.....and only serve to confuse some of the electorate....who think they are voting for the same things locally as they do nationally......and follow slavishly a political doctrine/dogma.

Why can't local councillors work together? They would gain far more respect from the voters if they could all pull in the same direction....and in the long run, the town and its environment would benefit.

It is time to stop slinging mud and insults and do what is right for the borough.
