SIR – Intrigued by the story of a zero per cent tax increase locally compared to the tax rises proposed by Conservative Essex County Council, who do not face local elections this year. I attended the council meeting to fix the local tax to find out the fa... Full Letter »

SIR – I read with interest your article about the budget proposals from the Conservative administration for 2010-11, but what interested me further was the comment from leader Cllr Andrew Johnson on the council website stating that it really puts residen... Full Letter »
SIR – Sadly Cllr Joel Charles, Tory spokesperson, has yet again fallen into the boring and dull trap of blaming anyone in his letter (Trying to balance books, Herald, January 28). Yet again he has to be reminded that when Labour was in control we were ass... Full Letter »
