COUNCILLOR Alec Samuels, leader of Southampton City Council, accusedme of trying to take the credit for Lordshill's new temporary community building, and that I omitted to give credit to the new Tory administration.

I believe Cllr Samuels has done this for no other reason han that I am a Labour councillor.

In reality my original letter did no more than welcome the new buildinf.

The Cabinet, which Cllr Samuels heads, hasd given the green light to this much-needed facility.

COUNCILLOR DON THOMAS, Southampton City Council
