'MLA is one of the most efficient'

I’m writing to defend one of the hardest working, most efficient MLAs we have in Upper Bann. That person is Mr Sammy Gardiner.

I have had many issues and problems over the past number of years and on each occasion, Mr Gardiner and his staff have accommodated me and have been very proactive in each case. Politicians often get a bad press and promise so much at election time only to disappoint when in power and forget their election pledges.

The DUP here in Upper Bann appear to enjoy criticising fellow unionists and Mr Gardiner in particular. They appear these days to prefer befriending Sinn Fein who ultimately want to break up Northern Ireland and bring us into a bankrupt Republic.

All who value the United Kingdom need to step up to the mark and stand together for a better future for all.
