SIR – I totally agree with Coun Vanda Greenwood’s letter, ‘Picking and Choosing’ (T&A April 19), on one point.
She states Coun John Watmough can’t pick and choose which parts of the budget he wants, and agrees its Lib-Dems electioneering.
I will disagree with her on the point it’s because of the Tory Coalition that the cuts are having to be made.
It was the last Labour Government’s spend, spend, spend attitude and the bankers that got us in this mess, and we couldn’t carry on with the spending attitude of the last Government, and we can’t afford the £1.5million a day interest alone, so cuts needed to be made.
