I WAS shocked and disgusted when I read your front page (Call to Resign).

I was horrified enough when I woke on Friday morning to discover that my decision to vote against my Labour councillor may have contributed to electing a Conservative council.

But only five days after voting for Michael Dickinson I discover that he had used the most despicable underhand tactics to put himself into a council seat.

I am not particularly religious, but I think to abuse the trust and office of a vicar is unforgivable behaviour.

I won't be experimenting with my vote in the future. I don't agree with the ethics and service-cutting tactics of the Tories and Mr Dickinson has proved that you can't believe a word a Liberal Democrat says at least Labour were just incompetent.
