Why doesn't the Labour Party organise in Goldsmid ward, where I live? Adam Trimingham told us (The Argus, October 9, 2001) that there are high deprivation levels in Goldsmid. Is this still the case?
Perhaps Nigel Furness and John Stanaway are right (Letters, December 17, 2001) in claiming party politics restricts councillors and people may be better served by independent councillors.
There is little democracy in Goldsmid ward. The Lib-Dems, like the Tories, tend to represent the interests of property owners rather than tenants, disabled people and students.
