WHILST agreeing with Lorraine Hatt that keeping the local bus and toilets in Corsham is very important, I took great exception to her remarks about the town council.

Perhaps she failed to notice in the latest newsletter from the council, that they had been awarded the top, gold award for local town councils.

In my view Corsham Town Council is first rate at keeping in touch with people and trying to represent local opinions. In addition, the councillors work for us on a voluntary basis; I think we should be grateful to them, not disparaging and discouraging.
