Straightalking, its great to hear from someone who is at the heart of this and for you to give your perspective.

Some interesting points have come out of posting over the last few days,

1. The TLERA appear to have acted with the best intentions, but may have over stepped the letter of their remit on this occassion (these things happen, lessons are learnt for next time)
2. We are fortunate to live in a country where due process exists to enable affected parties to raise concerns/issues, and for appropriate rulings to be given (for or against) by official bodies that can enforce them.
3. The nursery management seem to have taken it upon themselves to close the business, in advance of any ruling.

So what we appear to have is a neighbour(s) registering a concern, via the appriopriate channels, and a business acting prior to a ruling being given. I'm aware emotions will always run high, and that it is never as simple as this.

A further consideration is that given the nursery owners are/were already looking at an alternative, and that they have closed before the ruling - are they just using this as an opportunity to restructure their business whilst "blaming" the closure on the neighbours - thereby maintaining the good will of their clients. A consideration surely?
