TO Laura Clarke-Gowan, my warmest congratulations to you for achieving such impressive GCSE results in the face of adversity, family anxiety, humiliation and denegration.

I fully endorse E R Scrivens letter of concern and support for Laura and her family.

Enough is enough! Fourteen years of threats and intimidation is nothing short of cruelty. Laura has endured the latter for the entirety of her young life. There are times and circumstances when humanity and common sense should take priority over political correctness.

Laura, you have shown tremendous strength and determination whilst having to endure the daily insecurity that is engendered by the constant threat of eviction from your family home.

Know that so many people are rooting for you and truly care that your young life is fully supported to enable you to reach your full potential.

Hold fast to your dreams and your aspirations Laura. You have so much to contribute. I wish you all the luck in the world.

May you and your parents be spared any further harassment in your struggle to retain your family home.

MARY RATCLIFFE
