WITH reference to Des Moffatt's letter, it now transpires from this that Swindon councillors actually knew that the charge for the caretaker/wardens on council estates was double charging council tenants, as this was discussed.

I have tried very hard to get some answers from Swindon Housing Department regarding the charge and am just fobbed off with irrelevant facts and figures.

It seems to me that they thought no-one would notice the charge, and now that they have they still will not address the issue.

I have still to see a caretaker/warden on my estate yet I have been paying since April 1 for the privilege!
