REGARDING the decision of Sue Reid and other Blackburn councillors not to attend the Mayor's Ball just because she didn't like what he said (LET, February 18).
Doesn't she know that in nearly every walk of life, be it in industry or local government, small groups of people get together and sort out important items prior to the general/council meeting?
It has always gone on and to a large extent it always will.
When she became a councillor, she was elected on a ticket of looking after the people in her ward and also to respect the office of mayor, and the charity the mayor in his or her year of office chooses to raise funds for, and not to act like some spoilt school girl.
It may well be that, unknown to her, people from her ward could be buying tickets for the Ball and attending themselves.
B J BOOTH, Rockcliffe Street, Blackburn.
