LIBERAL Democrat Coun Chris Shepherd's decision to encourage local residents to "vote him out of the council" should be applauded.
He is right to presume residents are tired of the Lib Dems in Swindon. Their performance on the council amounts at best to dreadful attendance, at worst to voting through yet another council tax hike against residents' pleas.
It is unacceptable that they think they can preach about improving Swindon Council when their councillors can't even turn up to meetings.
For example, their decision to ignore the Budget Task Group,which helped drive down council tax, and cut the endless waste in Swindon Council, shows they are simply not up to the job.
Hopefully, they will all be voted out in June's elections.
