HAVING just read (Evening News, Wednesday, October 15) that Dr Mohammed Aslam is paid £53,000 and doesn't turn up for work, could someone please explain to me why Worcestershire has to have a Racial Equality Council?

I would appreciate answers to the following simple questions. Who is on the council?

Who pays for the WREC - and last, but not least - are there any vacancies?

ROBIN HOPKINS,
