It was with dismay I read Pam Switzer's comments (Letters, August 1) regarding independent Councillor Jayne Bennett.

It seemed strange to criticise someone for working hard for the community and residents of Brighton and Hove.

Interestingly, Mrs Switzer omitted to mention her position within the Conservative Party.

With letters like that, she certainly does her party no favours.

Let's hope, for all our sakes, she harbours no political ambitions for herself.

I will make a point of contacting Coun Bennett to offer my future support.
