SIR – Re the article about Mr [Adrian] Hardman in which he said he is worried about the UKIP vote in May (Worcester News, March 12).

It may be, Mr Hardman, that the candidates for UKIP are down to earth people who are only concerned with local issues for local people and want the best services for the people they represent, not the party.

That is the Tories’ problem.

Don’t take the taxpayers of Worcester for fools.
