Gammon needs to be off menu
However, I wish to ask you one basic, fundamental question – a local newspaper will, hopefully, supply us with news so why, for the last two weeks, have you had photographs of Alan Gammon holding paintings at the museum? One week was enough, but to repeat it was unacceptable.
I am appalled at this week’s (November 29)Gazette. We have a wonderful, beautiful, gregarious, active mayor, Emma Neno. Not only is she an excellent mayor, but she also raises vast sums of money for charity.

I would very much appreciate your comments regarding the above.

Editor’s note: The photo we used of Mr Gammon two weeks ago was trailing last week’s feature, to let people know it would be appearing in a week’s time.
As he is the chairman of the town council’s community resources committee, with responsibility for the museum, he will, from time to time, appear in stories promoting the museum.

I’m sure Mrs Neno would be the first to agree she has featured in the paper numerous times since becoming town mayor in May.
