WHEN we were canvassing in Lordshill, Southampton for Keith Morrell (who will win a city council seat in May), a young lad approached us.

All his friends wanted is a small youth club to keep them from playing in the street.

I promised I would write to the Echo to highlight how the Labour cuts have ruined people’s lives from eight to 80. Sell the mayor’s number plate for £100,000 and build a facility at Lordshill.
