Ww'd like to thank Andy Richards (Letters, April 30) for highlighting the contradictions in Labour's Hangleton and Knoll campaign.

The three local candidates are absurdly suggesting the best way of opposing Labour's policies is to vote Labour.

Let us be clear: voting Labour will only convince this party their planned cuts to post offices and hospitals and their mishandled stock transfers and police reforms are acceptable. Can we also point out that local Conservatives supported the tenants' right to have a say via the housing ballot. We did not support the housing transfer, as other parties are trying to claim.
