I HOPE the residents of Swindon are not fooled by the Labour group’s latest claims. If they are confident about their policies why could they not implement these when they were last in power when times were better? (Even their own government could not trust them.) They have held sway in my ward for 50 years and have achieved very little.

Since I became a councillor I have been prepared to dig in and get my hands dirty to make the Parks ward a better place for us all.

(Coun) GRAHAM CHERRY Shaftesbury Avenue Park South Swindon
