GIVE it a rest Gary Bebbington.

I refer to the latest nonsense in the Warrington Guardian (October 26) where he criticised Alf Clemo and Mike Hannon.

Mike Hannon is not paid from the public purse, he gets an allowance, same as everyone who is a councillor.

Why do they get that? To compensate them for the time and hassle of being a councillor.

Would you want phone calls at all hours from people with problems?

Would you want to attend committee meetings?

Mr Clemo meanwhile gives up countless hours of his own time on various forums and boards around Warrington.

Far more than your ‘lobbying’.

We live in a Labour town. People vote Labour because they generally believe in Labour policies.

Helping those who need it.

Investing in parts of the town where people don’t have as much.

If you don’t like it, don’t vote Labour. Thousands in this town do, hence why we have two Labour MPs and a Labour-dominated council.

And I am glad we do or else we would be run by Bebbington-esque moaners.
