LETTER: Broken system is not fit for purpose
Mr Mason admits that he is not a regular reader of WSCT. And that’s the problem with councillors and ex-councillors from the ‘Deep South’. They aren’t in touch with Horsham town and don’t ‘get it’.
How can he really make a judgement about what has been going on for the last 18 months on the council? To most readers the past 18 months at Horsham District Council is an embarrassing scandal - or in the words of one of your letters last week ‘HDC has become a laughing stock’ (26.2.15, p38).

Hide AdThe ‘low point’ has not been brought about by the news coverage of the WSCT; investigative journalism, Editorial comment and the standard of letters to the paper all of which are exemplary – no - the low point has been reached by the self-serving approach of a small number of councillors – most like Mr Mason from below the A272.
These councillors have thrived in a broken cabinet system that gives them far too much power and is not fit for purpose.
