Abolition of Town Councils

Posted: 14 Oct 2012 05:27 PM PDT

Dear Eamon,
 
 
I am a Town Councillor with 8 years service.  I am all in favour of local government reform and a return of powers to councillors.
 
I would be horrified to learn that the government would be planning on abolition Town Councils like Westport.  Especially after such a move is not a policy of Labour's nor is it included in the Programme for Government.
 
We are the foot soldiers of local government and the Labour party across the country.  We know our constituents by their first name, they're problems are our problems.
 
I would consider any move to abolish us as a betrayal of the highest order by both Government and party.
 
Sincerely
 
 
Keith Martin
Councillor
Westport Town Council
 
Chair
Westport Branch Labour Party
