JANET S Kitchen-Cooper (Letters, September 10) is right that there should be a letters page exclusively for councillors, but this should be restricted to their petty abuse of each other and their playing of party politics (when their missives resemble a party political broadcast).
Where I disagree with Janet is that they should have the right of reply in the Readers’ section when a correspondent has implicated or castigated them.
After all, we wouldn’t want The Press to resemble Station Rise where any opposition is shouted down.
