I write in total support of Mike Charles and the Opinion column (Your Letters, May 17).

Some months ago I attended a meeting at the theatres complex. The outcome of this meeting was crystal clear. Malvern Town Council should resign and this ludicrous budget be dramatically cut to match the purpose of a parish council. Some did resign and members of MTAG took their places. Thank God they did or who knows where we would be now!

People of Malvern I urge you not to be (as I have been in the past) part of the silent majority. Let us put a stop to this idiocy at the next elections.

I am a supporter of MTAG, and I have never, nor will I be, a member of a political party in my life. This group was formed to represent a significant number of people who had lost faith in the then present encumbants of the town council. They were asked to resign. Arrogance, inflated egos and thick skins meant many chose not to.
