IAM inclined to agree with Roy Davies of Darwen (Letters, November 30). Do we need councillors? When making a complaint to a councillor I, too, expect him or her to be in a position to be able to do something about it. But this doesn't seem to be the case.
It makes you wonder just what our councillors' powers, if any, are. I have found that when I make a complaint to a councillor, not one of them ever gets back to me to let me know what has been done about my complaint.
No wonder there are low turn-outs at election time. Do you think the electorate are trying to tell the would-be councillors something.
I have now decided not to cast my vote at the local elections as I have no evidence of what councillors do. There is just one person I would vote for and I think he knows who that would be be.
