I AM writing in response to the articles and letters about my family, the Clarke-Gowans.

I am pleased to find so much support for our appeal. It is comforting to know that although the council and the parish council may not be on our side, we have a lot of backing from the general public.

Trying to get through my GCSEs and now my A levels, as well as dealing with this appeal, has been a struggle. Without the support of close friends, family and, most importantly, the general public, I may not have got the excellent GCSE results I have achieved.

I would like to thank everybody who has helped us so far, whether it be writing letters or being there at the appeals to help our case against the council.

I would also just like to ask one thing.

How can a building be an eye sore when it can't even be seen from the road, other than by parish councillors on horseback or in tractors?
