IT IS always nice to see Mr Perrow defending (quite needlessly) his chum Andrew Mallinson – Hard-working clerk (Keighley News, October 30).

However, in response to his last remark, could I, given that he is in charge of a council that can’t even solve the years-long problem of dog mess in the rec, ask him exactly what he has done for Cowling recently?

I did put that very question to him in the local press several months ago. Silence.
