I note with interest the comments of Coun Justin Tomlinson (Oct 10, 2000) about drunks in the town centre.

Firstly, I would like to remind him that Swindon is not a Labour controlled council, but hung with many of his Tory colleagues chairing council commissions and task groups.

But if Coun Tomlinson wants to comment about issues facing the town centre, perhaps he could explain to the people of Swindon why he was the only councillor at a recent council meeting not to support a motion by Coun Stan Pajak opposing the closure of the Wyvern Square Post Office.
