BEING a lifelong Labour supporter -- local and national -- it pains me to say our local council is in need of a shock. I call on voters to vote them out of office while we still have a town left.

Their record is atrocious. Council tax up every year, services down every year. I say give the Lib Dems a chance. It can't get any worse than it already is.
