In reply to Councillor Thomas's letter published in your May 22nd issue. Oh councillor what a tongue in cheek acknowledgment of Mary Docker's victory.

Mary did not win in 2004 and again in 2008 because of the disaster the Labour government have made.

She won her seat because she cares, yes she actually cares for the people of Blackheath.

She listens to what people say.

She helps in lots of ways.

She does not seek publicity as others do but gets on with the job she was elected for so she knows what hard work is.

You councillor Thomas sound like a churlish child who has had a kick up the backside.

To set the record straight Mary does not know me, I have never met her, but I hear from plenty of local people who she has helped.

Good luck Mary and carry on with your excellent work for the people of Blackheath who appreciate it very much.
