HAS anyone received the latest issue of Hillingdon People?

I warn you, it's a Conservative self promotional document full of twaddle paid for by us, the Hillingdon Council taxpayers.

There is a full page spread on the ice rink in Uxbridge; oh great, just what we need again!

No doubt the venerable Henry Higgins, who apparently has some form of responsibility for leisure, has children who think it's a good idea.

There are photos of Conservative councillors on every page, smiling, opening something or other, looking at babies and just generally hanging about waiting for the camera to click.

I may have missed something, but where is there mention of all the good things that are happening in Hayes?

Could it be because there are no Conservative councillors in Hayes?

We won't count the Labour defector in Heathrow Villages who sold his colleagues down the river, and of course the spin doctor for Hayes (no laughing please) Paul Buttivant.

Hayes has always been the poor relation of Hillingdon, and it's time that we were able to have a council where we, the people of Hayes, can say how our council tax money is spent - and Hillingdon People won't be on the list .
