I AM a resident of Berry Hill. I am very unhappy that effectively for six months I will have been denied the right to vote for a councillor to represent me.

I do not believe the excuses of the Labour Party. Overworked council employees? That will be the first time ever!

In fact, in my view, their rush to swamp the local press demonstrates a guilty conscience.

I think that without UKIP I would still not have got a chance to vote. Are Labour worried that they might lose?

I will certainly be makiong my views known at the ballot box.
