As others have noted (Letters, April 24), Ted Kemble was a signatory to a complaining missive regarding tuk-tuks, but he is a councillor and taxi driver. Surely it is contrary to the standards expected of a councillor to become involved in a matter directly related to their personal business.

While there are, on the surface at least, good arguments on both sides - more competition versus safety issues - these matters should be left to those who do not have a personal interest of this kind.
