AN IMPARTIAL CHAIRMAN? - I DON'T THINK SO

To The Editor

Dear Sir,
Your letter page carries the tongue in cheek headings "Your views, the ones that really matter" and an invitation to join the debate online. What debate? It is apparent that if a view doesn`t agree with the editor`s then it is not printed. My last 2 have been ignored , and whilst disagreeing with the council were worthy of debate. The chairman (the editor) in any debate should be neutral and this is clearly not the case with the Herald Express. However I will try again:

Dear Sir,
Councillor Carroll continues to show his contempt for people. After jeopardising the livelihood of the Torre Abbey promenade caterer by allowing sales of ice cream, teas etc. from the balloon kiosk Mr. Carroll suggests that the caterer competes by improving his business! The man runs a small portable wagon and has given years of service, how can you make changes in such a restricted area Mr. Carroll? Perhaps afternoon tea dances, evening cabaret or synchronized swimming, waitresses when the tide is in. Give us your ideas Mr. Carroll !!
