AT THE recent TVBC full council meeting on June 24, held at the Andover Guildhall, I was appalled at the attendance of the elected members.

Only 21 out of 38 Conservatives could be bothered to attend!

Yet only a few weeks ago they were asking the public to support them and go to the polling stations and vote for them.

These are the very same people who are supposed to represent the views of the residents of Test Valley.

Their apathy is disgusting, they should be ashamed and sort this out. Other attendees at the meeting, only three members of the cabinet were present, eight out of nine Lib Dems were present and one independent.

At the same meeting questions were asked about the Andover golf club. But as this was discussed in the first instance in a cabinet meeting from which members of the public were excluded, the answers limited. Surely everyone in Andover would like to know about the future of the Andover golf club is? What have they got to hide?

Maybe this paper should ask questions on this?
