For residents living on the Whitehawk estate to be seeking outside assistance from Councillor Geoffrey Well's (Argus, July 22) doesn't speak volumes for their own elected councillors.

Elected councillors for Whitehawk must be aware of complaints Brighton and Hove Council is failing to deliver and ducking its responsibilities.

Shouldn't elected councillors who serve Marine Ward be airing residents' grievances or is Whitehawk not on their map?

Bearing in mind you only reap what you sow at local elections for the next four years, perhaps residents living on the estate need to choose local people as their councillors. I note not one of the councillors serving Marine Ward lives on, or close by, the Whitehawk estate.
