SIR: I write after reading the three Kearsley councillors' letter: Our right to reply (February 18) and other council comments.

Do these three people only want industrial units and retail outlets, more traffic and more pollution? Goodness knows it's hard enough to cross the roads now, let alone after building any more.

All we ever hear from the Council is more individual units, more roundabouts and more retail outlets.

I thought their new policies were against building more roads, and cutting down pollution. It seems not. Do they not know we want more green areas and things that are nice to look at and occupy ourselves with, not more pollution and empty tin buildings?

All the Kearsley representatives have created is industry and havoc.
