YOUR correspondent Mr Benfield has missed the point by blaming the public who did not attend the council consultation meeting.

He should have put more emphasis on the fact of the missing councillors who are our elected representatives and more versed in making our views known.

Where were they?

We bother to vote in local elections, giving them support, but there seems to be no party loyalty, just hollow party promises.

Shall we vote for them again? I could give them a miss next time.
