AT the last full meeting of the district council a Liberal Democratic councillor made an unsuccessful attempt to denigrate Cllr Terry Chivers because he had chosen to leave that party. This was embarrassing and quite out of order.

Terry Chivers has elected to join an alliance called the Conservative and Independent group and I fully welcome him to our minority group. He has sound common sense and works hard for those whom he represents.

CLLR BRIAN MUDGE,

West Wilts District Council.
