SIR – We need an Elected mayor like a hole in the head.
We have elected councillors, who never consult us.
We have elected MPs at £63,000 a year, who never consult us.
We have ministers starting on £87,000 a year whose protocol allows them never to reply to letters except by postcard, if you’re lucky.
We have been at war in Iraq and Afghanistan since the year 2000 without ever a vote being taken in parliament by our MPs.
Look at Doncaster, which has Mr Davies as an elected mayor.
Elected mayor? Certainly not, we pay too much already for elected non-consultants.
