Reader's letter
With reference to the story 'Councillors Oppose Farmer's Housing Plan' (April 3), Holtby parish councillors should take off their stuffed shirts and give this guy a chance. The artist's impression gives the site a much better look, and if that is how the development will look then let it go ahead.
Surely anyone can see that it looks perfectly in keeping with the surroundings. Farm buildings are going to be demolished - it's not as if Mr England is keeping the buildings and adding new houses. I am in favour of green belt areas, but can see nothing wrong in this guy trying to secure a future for his family.
