REGARDING the article 'Steeplejack plans to open town's latest tourist attraction', (comment page 34, BEN,March 21).

Many of my friends and neighbours have been told to clean up their gardens because of a small amount of rubbish and have been given black bin bags by different Council Officers.

I am appalled to see a picture of the garden in the paper getting praise. I have no doubt, that a lot of it is local heritage, but, I think it is one rule for the rich and one for the working class.
