LETTERS – Pleased for Sir John’s support

I was pleased to see that Sir John Hayes MP has added his voice to the discussion regarding the threat to people’s homes on Bourne Road, and the appalling way the residents have been treated. It was also great to hear that he took time out of his busy schedule to meet with the people affected.

It has been horrifying to watch events unfolding this last month, and I hope that Lincolnshire County Council will have a serious rethink on the ludicrous direction these plans have taken.

It’s all well and good to issue an apology when people feel utterly betrayed, but a mistake like this cannot and must not be allowed to happen. There was nothing substantially wrong with the original route.

It was good to hear that Coun Richard Davies (Portfolio holder for Highways) has apologised to local people, through the local press, and I hope he appreciates the strength of local feeling; I think we can safely say that the people of Spalding feel very poorly done by.
