City Council
Sir,—The headlines said: “Split council still to set battle lines" (October 16). Is this what we are to expect? A continuation of bickering and party politics as practised in the past? A new Mayor, a new council, new boundaries, a new system; is this not an opportunity for all concerned to adopt a new approach? Hopefully, the lobbying and other actions contravening the establishment of a well-run council, free of all party politics and concerned only with the welfare of the ratepayers, will prevail. Each council member has been placed in his or her position of trust by the majority of the ratepayers, and it is to these that allegiance is owed, and not to any party.—Yours, etc. GLADYS FOXON. October 17, 1989.
