Mr Carter (letters, October 6) criticises the Save Coate! campaign and Jean Saunders' website.
I should point out that I created and maintain www.savecoate.org.uk on behalf of the campaign.
I have published some of Jean's comments and her contact details but she has never had editorial control.
It is also worth a reminder that Jean and I speak for a wide coalition the Save Coate! campaign has been endorsed by the following organisations (local branch, where applicable): Animal Concern; Campaign to protect Rural England; Chiseldon Parish Council; Friends Of Coate Water; Friends Of The Earth; Green Party; Greenpeace; Liberal Democrats; Liddington Parish Council; Ramblers Association; Richard Jefferies Society; Socialist Alliance; Socialist Party; Swindon Civic Trust; Swindon Forest Protection Group; Trade Union Council and Wiltshire Badger Group.
We are grateful to Jean for her work on our behalf but it is hardly fair to suggest that the campaign is a solo effort of one publicity-hungry woman.
