FURTHER to Councillor Mrs Valerie Halton's letter, headed Labour's hitlist (HAS, May 28), what she fails to inform your readers of is that it was the coalition (Conservative, Liberal Democrat and East Cleveland) which closed down the Margrove Heritage Centre, just outside Guisborough, in its early years in office.

On the question of Guisborough swimming pool, it states clearly in the Labour Party's local government manifesto, under chapter 14, line 6: We will keep all of our swimming pools open.

I think that is very emphatic.

Councillor George R Dunning, Leader, Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council.
