I HAVE read with interest the comments on whether we have too many councillors and would like to point out that on my recent visit to the town I grew up in Australia I discovered Blacktown Council has 15 councillors covering a large area with a population of around 280,000.
If they can manage with that number it begs the question why can’t we?
