• HOORAY for the Henry’s of the borough.

It is very clear to see by your coverage of the debacle of the LTNs that the Islington electorate is severely split by the haves and the have-nots, with the Islington metropolitan élite running the borough forgetting the have-nots, completely ignoring their voting base of the working classes of the borough.

Almost every week we have people for, and people against, those LTNs. But my question would be do all those people live in the borough?

Or are they just passing through on their cycles making representation to Islington Council therefore listening, once again, to the minority rather that the majority of their electorate.

It is all very well for a correspondent to suggest in your paper that this was the “a test of the democratic process” (Letters, May 14), but there is a vast difference in the political machinery that the Labour Party can bring to Islington from the smaller parties who are fighting for our rights – something that the Labour Party and the lone Green Party councillor will never ever do, only pander to those élitist of the borough.

I take this opportunity to remind the élite in Islington of the situation in Hartlepool of the loss of that not-so-safe Labour parliamentary seat. The working classes will wake up in Islington.

It will just go from bad to worse with these low traffic neighbourhoods. But we, the people, will not be railroaded by these councillors with their vanity projects.
