I was disgusted to read of the failure to declare an interest in a local planning application by Leigh ward councillor Alan Crystall and his wife, Elaine, a Leigh town councillor.
Mr Crystall has served on the council for what seems like a decade, and he should by now be fully aware of the rules and regulations, as should his wife.
They should both be barred from serving on the councils for at least six months and their expense accounts made void for the same period.
