Rosalind Morgan is not alone in experiencing Councillor Brian Coleman’s offensiveness, (‘Can’t leader control him?’, Your Views, February 10).

I emailed him saying: “I am appalled at the proposed rise in parking charges.

“We do not have a car, but to pay £4 for even the briefest visit from a friend or workman is extortionate.

“It was the Conservative council and not the ratepayers which blithely invested our money in Icelandic banks, but we are being made to pay the cost of its stupidity and greed.”

His reply was: “Barking.”
