LETTER: HDC has become a laughing stock
No doubt Mrs Croft and Mr Rae now wish that they had taken heed of these warnings over the past 12 months since Conservatives members de-selected them on February 14.
‘Open, transparent and inclusive’ – our local council is none of these under Cllr Dawe’s leadership.

The disease has afflicted the whole council – the symptoms are secrecy, use of the whip, kangaroo courts, poor and wasteful decision making using our money (e.g. West Street, £22,000 spent on a QC fighting the residents). HDC has become a laughing stock.
No doubt there is more to come out about how the council has been run. Hopefully Mr Rae will help us as he seeks ‘revenge’.
As you say, Mr Dawe is answerable to the South Downs equivalent of the Horsham Conservative Association that ‘dumped’ Mrs Croft and Mr Rae.
It is to be hoped that the electors in Cllr Dawe’s ward will be rigorous in their assessment of this man as a councillor and potential Tory leader again.
