LABOUR councillors greet independent town councillors very warmly when they meet us outside the council chamber.
Inside, however, they become very different animals.
Independents are treated like dirt without any respect being given. It is as if we have no right to be there.
Brian Gibson.
Independent town councillor, Ferryhill Town Council.
