Councillor Nick Dines is right to argue that Labour councillors should not be so arrogant as to dismiss the idea to cut the number of them at the civic centre (‘Council should lead from the front’, Opinion, June 11).
If this new administration is going to be cutting just one member of staff then I find it unbelievable that any Labour councillor could be so arrogant as to say they are untouchable, yet crucial staff are not. So much for being the party of the people. Do as I say, not as I do would appear more appropriate.
Whilst I don’t agree with the Conservatives on everything, they are right to call for a cut in the cost of politics in Enfield if the council is going to start laying people off.
