Is Kate Salinger the only Conservative council member with a conscience who is prepared to stand up for her principles and stand by the electorate?

It is obviously not enough that the public sector is having to accept a pay freeze and in some cases redundancies.

Schools are being left to crumble and an increasing number of people are out of work through no fault of their own, and services for the elderly and the most vulnerable continue on a shoestring. The list is endless.

Like many people who stand up for their principles, Kate is now suffering the consequences.

All I can do is to wish her well and say thank you.
