ON scanning the letters page, it is clear that Gordon Blake has a mighty axe to grind with the council.

Week after week without fail his letters are printed along with responses from Cllr Preest.

I wonder if they realise that these tit-for-tat exchanges do neither any good and are demeaning to both.

As long as neither is prepared to be the better man, these childish exchanges will continue.

Good for the paper I’m sure but not the parties concerned.
