Whilst many of us are eating too much turkey, it appears David Crausby is putting his effort and time into improving our life in Bolton, (Bolton Evening News, December 27 and 29). He is sponsoring a House of Commons motion to keep dangerous chemicals off our apples.

Years ago we ate apples from trees. Today they are stored for a year in supermarkets and drenched in chemicals to make them look fresh.

He is also concerned that two out of three children in Bolton have tooth decay. Thousands of people agree with him - chemicals in our water is NOT the answer. We are treating the symptoms and not the cause. Keep fluoride out of our water supply. Keep chemicals off our vegetables.

Thank you, Mr Crausby.
