Hugh Sandeman
Conservative Councillor for Bell Hill ward, Petersfield

Another year, another annual review in the local paper. Amused as ever to read in one how many Tories they could find to tease via their their equine themed comment organ.

To be fair there was a reasonable amount of material generated in the last few months for them to choose from, sadly the context of many of the issues or events commented upon were not fully explained thus reinforcing the widely perceived bias towards the yellow corner.

To confirm this commonly held view there were glowing references to a young local career politician from the yellow team who got praise for;

1: Their Age.

2: The fact that they organised a public meeting over a contentious issue...

..Of course there was no comment about the outcome of the meeting and the complete absesnce of any follow-up meetings or progress to alleviate the problem, but heck! - it wouldn't be fair to dwell on such failures and lack of dynamism over the issues that matter to the people of Petersfield now would it?
