Mr Williams
I confirm receipt of your letter below, dated 10 March and signed by Juliet Seymour.
As you are fully aware, we know from email instructions to Juliet accidentally copied to us by Simon Bevan in the past that she
only writes what she is told to by her bosses. To use her in this way is cowardly and exploitative. No doubt it is you or Simon
Bevan who wrote the letter and hence it is to you I reply.
You can read some general comments on the points made in the letter in our current mailout. It is quite clear that you remain
committed to obstructing our application if you can find any legally tenable grounds. The points you raise are in most cases
factually incorrect or without merit. This is not to say we are not entirely open to valid comments supported by reason or
evidence and we believe such matters are best addressed in person and in the open. You are therefore invited to put your
reservations on the table in front of a general meeting of our Group on any of the following Wednesdays: 25 March, 1April, 8
April, 15 April, 22 April. As you know our meetings are held at 18:30pm at a location only two minutes walk from your office. It
is of course desirable that Simon Bevan attends also.
By attending in person you will be able to gauge directly the merit in your point that it is the Council, more than us, that enjoys
'inclusive' support in the Neighbourhood Area that you have chosen to designate for its planning policy locally. I would also urge
you to use your much greater resources to publicise the meeting and encourage the attendance of the diverse and plentiful local
stakeholders who you continually assert we lack your power to attract.
Please let me know as soon as possible your choice of date so that we also can do everything that our more modest resources
permit to raise interest and awareness of the meeting.
Regards
Russell Gray
