I WOULD like to ask, through your columns, if any of your readers have experienced the same difficulty as I have with regards to correspondence with Harrow council.

I wrote to one of our councillors about a certain matter on April 7, but have not yet received an answer or even an acknowledgement.

An acquaintance of mine who wrote on another matter has had a similar experience, which prompts me to write.

Does the council 'vet' correspondence and decide in some cases not to reply? Perhaps one of our councillors would be able to explain.

This is not a matter of politics it is about responsibility and (old fashioned as it may seem) courtesy.
