The philosophies and politics of Councillor Steve Tierney could not be further from my own.

However, I find myself in complete agreement with his letter concerning Councillor Alan Lay, also with that of Brian Pounder which expresses similar thoughts.

Alan Lay is big on words (printed that is) but lacking in performance.

He does not even have the decency to acknowledge the support which he received in the recent by-election, stating that he did very well considering that he received no “support on the ground”.

I know of at least one UKIP councillor who worked tirelessly in support of Lay and am confident that others did the same.

My Lay should reflect on why I and perhaps others, sign off as:
