Parachuted into ward

Sir--I feel that a response is necessary to the blatant cheek of your letter writer, Simon Currie.

He says that Med Hughes only joined the party a few days before nominations were closed. Simon does this ring any bells about your being parachuted in to the ward, when you were selected.

That same week you went through the process at breakneck speed, spurred on with the help of a cabal of fellow councillors.

You write about integrity and working for the party,where is your track record prior to being selected?
