I was interested to read Councillor Kielty's statement (Letters, November 9) in which he referred to the cutting of the funding to the Hangleton and Knoll Project.

Perhaps Coun Kielty should remember he represents the residents of Hangleton and stop impersonating a nodding dog to his masters in the Labour administration.

Come on Gerry, have the convictions of your beliefs. Be brave, take courage and be like Councillors Murphy and Tonks. There is life after New Labour.

-Coun Mark Barnard, ward councillor for Hangleton
