AFTER being a Labour Party supporter for many years and ex-shop steward, I am disgusted to read that Councillor David Keane has been deselected by our Labour Party.

This is a young man with good ideas and a good education being wasted, or is it that he is not a 'yes' man?

We need people like Clr Keane who are not afraid to speak their mind and have time for their constituents.

I hope that David Keane stands as an independent candidate, I for one will support him, as I am sure many more will do.
