| Tories gain | | 10:00am Thursday 8th May 2008 | | At the last General Election, the Labour candidate told people to vote Liberal Democrat in New Forest East and the outcome was a bad result because even then, as people did not want to have Blair as Prime Minister. |

| E-mail is so much more efficient | | 10:00am Thursday 8th May 2008 | | I NOTE that my local Conservative MP, Dr Julian Lewis, thinks that he and his staff have no need for e-mail, relying on the good old tradition of letter writing (Letters, May 1). |

| An elected mayor would give us real democracy | | 10:00am Wednesday 7th May 2008 | | THERE is nothing more reassuring than seeing democracy in action. Locally this rag-tag bunch of opportunists, both Liberal Democrat and Labour, were shown the door by Southampton's electorate. But make no mistake; this was not democracy in action. |
| We need a man of vision | | 10:00am Wednesday 7th May 2008 | | I AM very surprised that no one has taken up Daily Echo editor Ian Murray's suggestion of an elected mayor for Southampton. |
| I salute young Tories | | 10:00am Wednesday 7th May 2008 | | TIME and time again you hear that young people are not interested in politics. However, no one can say that again in Southampton. |
| Tackle the concerns over foreign cabbies | | 10:00am Wednesday 7th May 2008 | | I'M sorry but surely there are more important things going on to worry about than what a taxi driver wears. If people want drivers in suits and opening doors for them, get a chauffeur. |
| OAPs deserve a big increase too | | 10:00am Wednesday 7th May 2008 | | YOU certainly have to hand it to the politicians for their gall. Their spokesman reckons because there is cross-party agreement to the proposed £15,000 increase in the salary, it must be acceptable! |
| Labour’s poll spin | | 10:00am Wednesday 7th May 2008 | | IT is always interesting to see Labour trying to spin themselves out of a hole.

| You earned medal, Harry | | 10:00am Wednesday 7th May 2008 | | WEAR it with pride, Harry. This is a medal you earned, not one of the royal freebies.

| Merger would be a disaster | | 3:42pm Tuesday 6th May 2008 | | AFTER the shambles over the issue of bus passes in Southampton, does Eastleigh Council really want to merge with them? Their excuse that it was due to matters outside of their control is not convincing. |
| Councils are left to pick up the pieces | | 10:00am Monday 5th May 2008 | | LISTENING the other day to MPs' frustrations with regard to their constituencies, I realise Southampton is not alone and and blocks of flats are being built nationwide in towns and villages which are getting larger. |
| Just a money-grabbing event | | 10:00am Monday 5th May 2008 | | WHY does the city council always make a mess of events such as the Caribbean festival? Is it time to employ an expert company using competitive tendering and dump the council department? |
| A neighbour from hell | | 10:00am Monday 5th May 2008 | | AFTER reading the article headlined Neighbour Put Family Through Years of Hell (Daily Echo, April 24), I feel complelled to write to you. |
| Ann’s totally dedicated | | 10:00am Monday 5th May 2008 | | I HAVE been concerned recently to see in the local press and on television about the problems arising over the recent St Francis Animal Welfare AGM, but was absolutely appalled to read the Daily Echo (April 26) that the manageress, Ann Hillman, has been suspended and the shelter temporarily closed. |
