COUN. PICKUP’S reply to my recent letter con­ firms what I have always thought — that councillors are out of touch with the electorate. He went on. at great


length as to how much more it is . going to cost me, but he fails to mention if it will cost him more, or


is it less? I still challenge him and


other councillors to stand on Clitheroe Market on a Tuesday or Saturday and ask the electorate what they want? Remember, councillors, you are elected by us. One point Coun. Pickup
