With the planned reduction in staff proposed by Barnet Council to save millions and the intended out-sourcing of planning, parking and other sevices, I ask why do we will still need so many councillors?

They are an obvious drain on the ratepayers’ purse, so their number needs to be reduced.

Top of the list I suggest, is Councillor Brian Coleman. Not a week goes by it seems without a letter of complaint about him in your paper; or an article illustrating how he ignores the views of residents and forces his ideas and wishes through, regardless of the implication to the electorate.

Come on Totteridge ward do the right thing for the sake of all Barnet residents and de-select him.
