I REFER to the condemnation and criticism of Frank Avenell by Kevin Small, January 29.

Frank Avenell spent 50 years working for this country and helped to defend it by serving during World War II. He has striven to defend the vulnerable from the extortionate and unaffordable council tax increases imposed by the Labour Group.

Frank Avenell a true champion of the people.
