Dear Roz,

Yet again you have not read what I said (and your misrepresenting me is bordering on being libelous).

I will spell it out again. What I said was directed at you Roz, and I said, 'I suppose my reaction to your comments about my application and YOUR desire for us to live like pigs in xxxx in order to keep the house prices down.'

I would urge anyone to read CelticExplorers comments with regard to the debate going on about the pound shop and wider issues which Roz seems to support. Although it is humorous the underlying message is very clear.

I objected to the frontage to Mckays because it was cheap and ugly and as part of the campaign to regenerate Forest Hill it was identified that the shop fronts, shop signs and general clutter of signage was part of the problem. The planning department was supposed to have allocated a planning officer to make sure that future changes met with the standards set out. Since you are so concerned about my planning application, does Mckay fall into a different category where they don't need it? It has already been established that you Roz would prefer to encourage the worst rather than the best either because it will keep house prices down or you are visually blind. The frontage of Stag and Bow or St David's both in my opinion are attempts to care and make a statement, and are really wonderful for Forest Hill. (I guess you would disagree Roz) It is time to support the courage of these people who have invested in Forest Hill and whose input can only help the shops that have stayed loyal to Forest Hill. For my part Roz I want to see change and it is very definitely in the direction of the shops which have opened since the East London Line. It may not have been the right time for these changes in Forest Hill a few years ago but it certainly is now. We need action and with particular attention to the centre of Forest Hill. We get used to the rubish, the filthy pavements, the empty shops, the cheap and overpowering signs. I know there are many people who are desperate for this to be addressed.

Instead of distorting what I have written or ignoring the comments of Celticexplorer why don't you set out your manifesto for no change clearly and concisely so we all know what you mean and stand for. (You never know you might just have a handful of supporters for the Clampit party 'Partners in Grime').
