I REFER to the warning given by Christchurch MP Chris Chope, Echo 26th August 2016.
How I agree with him that it will be a ‘suicide mission’ to kill off the local councils.
Like Christchurch the ancient Borough of Poole would be abolished.
It’s amazing how local MPs and councillors have been silent on the matter.
I love Poole and do not want to see it struck off the map.
It seems that the local Conservative administrations are following the party whip.
It’s quite extraordinary that councils have not debated such a big issue as this before it goes public.
Let’s have a fair and open debate on this issue to include all aspects.
There is nothing new in the proposal. It goes back to 1988 and was dismissed then.
