I have sympathy with those concerned about the selling off of playing fields in the Basildon area and everybody should have a chance to air concerns.
However, at council meetings residents can ask ward councillors to represent them. That’s why we vote for them. Mo Larkin was our councillor several years ago and she was one of the best councillors we ever had, always easy to approach, caring and considerate.
Mrs Larkin was well liked and still plays an active part in Lee Chapel North, still respected by the residents who attend the All About Centre which she worked hard to facilitate for everyone.
Was Max Aitkins left off Mrs Larkin’s Christmas card list? I suggest Mr Aitkins stop personal attacks on somebody keeping law and order.
