PEOPLE vote Labour in the West End of Morecambe because they remember the mess made by the various Tory administrations of the Eighties.

The rot set in 20 years ago when Morecambe had a Tory-controlled local council and a Tory Government in Whitehall which espoused the philosophy that 'society' did not exist because it consisted only of individuals.

It was that declaration of the death of society which allowed greedy landlords and managing agents to suck the life blood out of the area.

Labour councillors have fought long and hard for a strategic approach to the housing stock in the West End. This has now been achieved.

Cllr Peter Robinson, Morecambe.
