As a lifelong Portslade resident who has always called the constituency Hove and Portslade, I wonder why, if Ivor Caplin really cares about Portslade's identity (The Argus, January 7), has he never called for a Portslade council or spoken out on many Portslade issues?

Is not the truth that Mr Caplin and his Labour lackeys realise this year Portslade residents for the first time in ten years could elect non-Labour councillors?
