I WRITE in response to your front page on KFC. It's time for all of the people of Swindon to fight this sort of thing.

I have been fighting with Tesco and SwindonCouncil to oppose the expansion of the Ocotal Way store. Our lives are being made hell by the noise day and night coming from the building works, and Swindon Council is powerless to stop the out of hours work.

Then we have the situation at Coate, the woods at Sparcells and the list just goes on. It's time the people of Swindon made a stand, to show the planning departments that this is our town and its about time our views were put first.
