SIR — Regarding the letter ‘Can George Do Two Jobs’ (Chronicle, March 12), if George Beckett is elected to Hampshire County Council in the Itchen Valley in June, he will join other leaders of local councils there.

Liberal Democrat Keith House from Eastleigh and Sean Woodward from Fareham are two examples.

They have no trouble doing two jobs and can recognise that it is a definite advantage to be able to represent their councils directly on Hampshire County Council.
