RE the letter (LT, January 27), I agree with Mr Garsden that Roy Davies is a first class councillor, but can I tell him that some councillors have a full-time job and may not be able to do things during the day.

So I am asking Mr Garsden, will he stand as a local councillor in the forthcoming elections in May? We will make him very welcome.

COUN PAUL BROWNE, Sudell Ward, Darwen.
