Spalding Guardian letters: April 8, 2021

I feel cheated as a voter
I find it extremely amusing and a slap in the face that the South Holland Independents have formed a party.
How can someone be truly independent if they have formed a party. They will argue they have their own views but once you form a party you are no longer able to use the term independent in my opinion.
I have decided that I want an independent Independent, not someone who is in a group or party. If there isnât one on the ballot sheet I may have to vote for a genuine party in the Conservatives as at least they are what they say they are.
Only three per cent of people in West Yorkshire can name one of the candidates to be its first metro mayor halifaxcourier.co.uk - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from halifaxcourier.co.uk Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.
Current Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham
The vast majority of people living in Greater Manchester want to see more powers given to the mayor, according to a new poll.
A survey commissioned by Centre for Cities ahead of May’s local elections found that 85 per cent of adults supported greater devolution to the region.
More than half want the mayor to take on more direct responsibility for providing affordable homes, while 47 per cent said the office should do more to support businesses.
Four in ten people say the office should have a greater control over tax and spending as well as Greater Manchester’s bus network, which is coming back under public control.
