Mrs J B Brown (Letters, August 21) seems to have completely missed valid points I would like to reiterate.

Councillor Jayne Bennett was elected by the constituents of Goldsmid ward as a Conservative councillor to represent them.

The fact she has now switched to being an Independent councillor still makes her the councillor for Goldsmid Ward and not an Independent councillor for all other wards.
