I READ your recent editorial in which you explained that Cllr Bruce Hogan (Labour) had asked a question in full council regarding the number of questions Cllr Preest (UKIP) had asked.

Why did Cllr Hogan ask such a banal question I asked myself?

I didn't vote for Cllr Bruce Hogan to ask such trivial things. I voted for him to ask on matters which are pertinent to my life and community here in the Forest.

Intrigued as to why Cllr Hogan felt the need to ask such a strange question I did some digging around and soon realised that Cllr Hogan had been beaten (perhaps not surprisingly) by UKIP at the recent county council elections. Sour grapes methinks.

I'm not impressed with Cllr Hogan nor with Labour if you continue to condone such behaviour.

I shall not be voting for you again.
