South Ward election
Sir,—Richard Bach surprised me when he stood against Alister James in the South Ward, for the present Labour Council has been very progressive in the way it has dealt with recycling and air pollution. The “green paper” entitled "You and Your Environment” firmly stated that the governing principles of the Social Credit League were the conservation of resources and enhancing of the environment by the recycling of all agriculture, industrial and municipal wastes. Social Credit underlined its policy, quote: "that protection of the environment must dominate economics: whatever is physically possible
and desirable must be made financially possible.” If just a Citizens candidate had stood, it would have been logical for a Social Creditor to have opposed on environmental grounds. As it was, it seemed to me that Richard. Bach was really rehearsing for a future Parliamentary election.— Yours, etc., PATRICK NEARY. May 18, 1982.
