SIR: Having stood as the Conservative Candidate for Little Lever and Darcy Lever Ward in last week's local council elections, I am writing to thank all those people within the ward who turned out to vote for me and gave me their support.
In these days of low percentage polls, when it appears that on average 60 out of every 100 do not, for whatever reason, bother to use their vote, I feel that those that do deserve recognition.
