ONCE again Coun Byrne (Your Letters, March 7) missed the political point in my earlier letter. I have never directed my arguments at the Labour Party, only Bury MBC.

The letter in which I criticised Bury MBC for the "weak" label given it by the Audit Commission has not been satisfactorily answered by Coun Byrne whose garbled response about my having an axe to grind with th e Labour Party only underlines my view of his arrogance, commented onpreviously.

Bury MBC is the worst council in the North West; that's a fact. I would also remind Coun Byrne that his aggression does his party no credit, especially with an election approaching.
