I do not wish to pour cold water on the promotional aspects of the Council's drive to focus attention on Calderdale's cultural and leisure offer. It is to be commended.

I am a little concerned that, in a free market and business sense, another part taxpayer subsidized Council publication could undermine the financial viability of the independent press by depriving it of advertising revenue.

I am very concerned at the timing of this Council subsidized publication, especially as the featured Councillor and the one responsible for this publication, is up for election in May. Not far off when massive campaigning has already started and set to reach a high next month.

I am well aware that the election period officially starts on March 27^th and that the targeted final delivery of ‘More' is 17^th March. However, this is too close to be ‘squeaky-clean' in my view, especially as Party election material is also already being delivered.

Anybody out there receiving his or her copy of ‘More' on or after March 27^th, please let me know.
