Too often we complain that councillors do not listen to us – well what a difference an election makes.

Finally we have Conservative councillors who listen to the electorate and understand the importance of protecting our countryside from greedy developers like the American owned Liberty property trust. These councillors clearly aren’t ‘yes men’ and Ray Dawe is in for a bloody nose.

I hope your readers look how they can still help with the e-petition ( www.savingnorthhorsham.co.uk)
