The article on the issue of car parking at Devizes Wharf (Gazette, May 27) drew attention to the fact that no Devizes Kennet councillors were on the committee.

In fact, I attended the meeting as a visitor because I have not been allowed a place on the committee. Even though a member of the committee asked for my opinion, the chairman would not allow me to speak because I had not applied to do so in advance of the meeting.

In my opinion, the decision to charge for these parking spaces has, therefore, been made with no reference to Devizes members.
