Dear Editor,

I read your front page article where you discussed and criticised the upcoming set-up for the Mid coast Council. Whilst I could willingly debate some of the comments you have printed I find your description of the administrator’s council as a ‘mob’, quite rude and totally unwarranted. Surely you can do better?

We always strive to do better, Mr Mason. No insult or rudeness was intended. We find the word “mob” as in “our mob ” to be friendly and inclusive. (Ed.)
