Dear Sir,

Yet another example of Liberal Democrat hypocrisy! The Liberal Democrats claim they will put services before spin and yet Mr Russell has been caught using tax payersÂ’ money to deliver leaflets during an election campaign.

This is a clear breach of very strict rules around the election period, and a clear illustration of how £10,000 of your money is used for Mr Russell’s self promotion.

He may well be sorry, but only because he got caught.

Yours sincerely

Cllr Tracey Chapman

Chief Whip and Cabinet Member for Environment & Waste
