I read with great interest the comments made about Dave Wells tenants and found them quite offensive.

I am a Dave Wells tenants and without him I would be homeless.

Ask any council housing officer where Bournemouth would be without DWP and the answer would be “crisis”.

The block that I live in has hard working, law abiding people who have a pride in their homes.

Some have very responsible jobs, yet the housing prices keep them away from the first step of the housing ladder.

Of course you will get rogue elements in all walks of life and I have found neighbours from hell with a mortgages.

Dave Wells provides an effective service in giving accommodation to those less well off.

He also runs an efficent service.

I have been treated better by the staff at Dave Wells than I was with a major housing association.

Look at the regeneration of some areas where old building lay.

Now they have new-builds, in which people are proud to live.

He has invested in areas that were in decline.
