LETTERS – One of the few who helps out

It was interesting to read former councillor Christine Lawton pick up Coun Jan Whitbourn on a typo in the Spalding Voice last week.
Perhaps Christine should have proof read her own submission as she would have noticed she had spelled the current councillor’s name wrong!
It does highlight to me, though, why Jan is a councillor today and Christine isn’t.
I have never voted Conservative but I would vote for Jan in a heartbeat.
She is one of the few councillors who actually does things for the regular folk like us.

(Editor’s note – Christine Lawton decided to not stand for re-election at the last election in May 2023 when Coun Whitbourn was voted back on to the council.)
