I FEEL I need to make a comment on Ron Bradney's letter published last week.

I am not affected by the car parking issues as I live on the outside of Ely, but I must say that Mr Bradney comes across as very arrogant and self-important. Suggesting £8,000 for a garage is a bargain is ridiculous! Not everybody has his money.

Also, he wants to spend £832.50 on badges for mayor's past and present. Well, Mr Mayor, we all work hard and there are a lot of people who have done a lot more for Ely than you or any other mayors and none of us get badges. This is pathetic. This money should be spent on something a lot better than some silly badge.

We pay more and more Council Tax each year, and we get less and less for our money. We never see a road sweeper in the part of Ely where I live. This once great city is being ruined by this council's arrogance and ineptitude. Sort out more important things than awarding yourself a 'badge of honour', Mr Bradney.
