AS an admirer of David Cameron’s famous call for ‘a big society and we are all in it together’ speech, I am concerned that he did not really mean what he said.

I am one of the 72 per cent of Southampton citizens who are opposed to fluoride being introduced into our drinking water, supposedly to prevent children’s tooth decay.

Mr Cameron’s big society seems to exclude Southampton citizens and we don’t appear to be all in it together.

There has been no reply to the 10,000-signature anti-fluoride petition handed in at No 10.

The Great Fluoride Debate in the Daily Echo will go down in history as the longest on record.

Will Mr Cameron please submit his own letter, perhaps explaining why the SHA was allowed to waste thousands of pounds on a public exercise followed by a judicial inquiry when the decision to fluoridate our water had already been decided by the Government?

Democracy surely will have no meaning if dictatorship is allowed to take its place.

A letter I believe would be most welcome by the citizens of Southampton, and help to restore my confidence in the big society.

At least I would know that my vote would be taken seriously in future elections and I would know who to vote for.

A WILLOTT, Lordswood, Southampton.
