IT’S a bit rich of Councillor Satvir Kaur to use the media to criticise South West Trains for delays she has encountered en route to her highly paid job in London.

Those of us she leaves behind every day, but purports to represent, have to endure the constant ordeal of getting in and out of Southampton City Centre where gridlock has become an all too frequent occurrence. The numerous days when cruise ships are in are particularly bad and make the city a no-go area for many. What a terrible indictment of our city and the councillors who are supposed to run it.

Councillor Kaur’s silence on these issues is deafening.

Hypocrisy of the highest order.

MRS KAREN BROWN, Southampton.
