I WRITE to express my sincere congratulations to the MTAG members of Malvern Town Council in achieving such excellent results by reducing the precept payment to the Malvern Town Council over the past three years, this year a reduction of 10 per cent - well done!

Clearly MTAG are carrying out the mandate they set themselves conveyed at the public meetings held in response to the former administration's escalating budgets. These reductions benefit very many families and must be of tremendous relief to those on fixed incomes.

Recognition and thanks ought to be accorded to councillors who worked so hard to pioneer and establish the MTAG organisation. Good luck with your future policies.

D A MASTERS, Hall Green Close, Malvern.
