Madam,

Gwynedd Council has put my rates up £70 a year. Then they want £33 to empty our brown bins and they have closed the local youth club. It would it be better to cut our local county councillors down from five to two, as there are only around 4,000 people living in this area.

Yours etc, Allan Grindrod, Neptune Road, Tywyn.
