LETTER: Time to keep your pledges

I’m reading last week’s edition of The Voice, which carries the front page headline “Enough Is Enough” and goes on to say how the residents of Spalding are fed up with the proliferation of licensed premises in the town centre.

The Voice goes on to say: “Many readers vented anger at the latest premises licence application for the former China City Restaurant in Winsover Road.”

I have next to me a copy of the Lincolnshire Free Press, May 12, 2015, where having wooed the electorate for their votes John Hayes MP lays out his promises in a tablet of stone, and says “Mr Hayes’ pledges include blocking plans for any new off-licences” and “I’m keen to ensure that we don’t have a proliferation of licensed premises in the area and that’s about working with the police and local government, as well as central government.”

So where are you Mr Hayes – in hiding? Why aren’t you publicly doing what you promised, or were your promises worthless words?

Speak up Mr Hayes, we, the people, can’t hear you.

Do what you say you were going to do, and stop the proliferation, or step down from office.
