Miriam Binder (The Argus, July 11), like many other Whitehawk residents, is suffering because politicians have too much power and locals too little.
Elected for four years, councillors can just sit back, relax and claim expenses until six months before the next poll comes round and then can pretend to care again.
Why should a landlord like Brighton and Hove City Council get away with it?
Why shouldn't council tenants control housing policy themselves?
They know far more about the subject than politicians, who don't even live in council houses.
