Sir, I can sympathise with Councillor Alastair Redman in his concerns about the proposed closure of public toilets on Islay (Letters, The Oban Times, November 9).
These and other cuts in services across the county are likely to come into effect as the administration seeks to resolve its forthcoming budget. Nobody would pretend that such reductions in service are welcome.
One matter puzzles me though. Is not Councillor Redman a Conservative member of the controlling group on the council? When last I saw him on a public platform, he was advocating and enthusiastically supporting the policy of austerity being pursued by his party.
