I HAVE always been of the opinion that three councillors for each ward in Southampton is at least one too many, but having just taken delivery of “Coxford Call”, the news-letter promoting our two independent councillors Don Thomas and Keith Morrell, I am happy that, if we are to have three, the third should also be Independent of the other parties that make up our present council.

Of course, being a staunch UKIP supporter I would dearly love to see one of our own candidates in the seat and would vote for them, but never-the-less the very word Independent appeals to me so I say “Good Luck” to Tammy Thomas or any other candidate who may bear that title.
