I WAS, like many others who would consider themselves progressives, disappointed to see the Tories win a seat in Cowdenbeath.
It was with great bemusement that after all the Tory spin about how only they could stand up for people in Fife, that almost one third of their council group failed to attend the first meeting of Council last week.
Then I received a leaflet through the door from Dave Dempsey listing his priorities for Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath, however, these appear to be the very similar as the priorities that every Tory candidate has listed on their almost identical leaflets across Scotland.
Not very local! Do the Tories really care about our communities? Time will tell.
ANN BAIN,
