SO Alan Calvert thinks we should vote for a mayor - Letters, April 19. I'm pretty sure the majority of us voted not to have one, not too long ago. Now we are having one forced upon us.
No doubt whoever gets the job will just be a mouthpiece for the government, telling us how fantastic everything is, especially the Northern Powerhouse.
So no I will not be voting for a complete waste of money.
