Martin Duncan-Jones is quite correct in saying that Waltham Forest News is largely a council propaganda exercise.
It does not have a letters page or offer readers any opportunity to comment on or question council activities. This is presumably why, despite the WFN being delivered to every household, senior councillors are obliged to continue to air their views in the the letters page of the Guardian.
