MIDDLESBROUGH Mayor Ray Mallon is right (Echo, Feb 2) – imposing the deepest cuts on the poorest areas is simply wrong.
But we knew this from the start, so why spend £15,000 on a report just to tell us what we already know?

What is needed is reasoned argument and a strategy to win back at least some of the money we have lost.
Mr Mallon offers neither of these things.
