D E Margrett suggests we would be better served by a Regional Assembly than the present structure of local Government.

How can he believe that a regional assembly which consists of 161 members stretching from Sandwell to Hereford containing just four people representing Worcestershire County Council, Malvern Hills and Worcester is ever going to listen to our views?

It is dominated by Birmingham and the other industrial parts of the Midlands.

Turning to another point, UKIPis the only party with a credible policy on pensions. By simply withdrawing from the EU and saving the money we contribute would increase everybody's pension by £25 per week without increasing taxes or reducing other services.
