SIR - Councillor Paul Denhams accuses the Independents of being pro-Conservative when voting on council issues. Could it be the Conservatives tackle important issues regarding our city's interests with which the Independents agree?

They are hardly going to vote with a party which has no viable alternative on such issues. I would suggest Labour councillors learn how to manage the city's finances before criticising others.
