IT seems that county councillor M Dixon (Echo, Oct 24) is like a few more councillors – along with Sedgefield’s MP Phil Wilson – running scared of the boundaries change.

They will have to work for their seats.

Has he forgotten what happens when the boundaries changed a few years ago to accommodate Tony Blair, so he could gain more votes? Now it’s only going back to how it was. The number of MPs should be reduced.

M Gray, Newton Aycliffe.
