I was privileged to serve as a Conservative Councillor in Lower Morden ward for over 20 years until 2002 when we moved to New South Wales, Australia.

Since that time I have kept myself aware of what is happening in the London Borough of Merton via the Internet.

How very disappointing that one of the Lower Morden councillors, having been elected with a Conservative mandate, should now decide to move to another party in mid-term.

Has he done this with the full agreement of the residents of Lower Morden?

The people of Lower Morden deserve better than this and will make up their own minds in 2014.

Hon Alderman Jan Jones; Ex Lower Morden ward Conservative Member
