Many congratulations to Mike Weatherley and his Conservative colleagues in Crawley on their stunning local election result.

Well done, also, to the people of Crawley for electing such a talented group of councillors.

Mike was Parliamentary candidate in Brighton Pavilion in 2005, so I know what a great asset he will be.

He has his finger on the electorate's pulse and is innovative and imaginative in coming up with solutions to problems we all face on a daily basis.

Mike and the team campaigned on the things important to everyone in Crawley - cleaner streets, high quality, good value council services, defending and enhancing our environment, tough action on crime, anti-social behaviour and illegal travellers, campaigning for better healthcare and a fresh new council and everyone's invited.

A message has been sent loud and clear to both Crawley MP Laura Moffatt and Tony Blair: You have failed to deliver on your promises and you should go now.

-Carol Ramsden, Brighton
