1 letter delivered? Really?? Then why do we have 29 identikit objections derived from that form?

.............

The LC application was a completely natural option to take given TLERA's organised 2 years of objections to the nursery and our TLERA encouraged neighbour's insistence on pursuing expensive-to-us litigation.

Such an application requires that all neighbours are informed of the application and 40 residents in Liphook Crescent and Ringmore Rise were therefore delivered a letter informing them of my application.

Hot on the heels of our deliveries came a letter from TLERA advising residents not to respond and that TLERA were seeking advice and would let them know shortly what they should, in effect, do.

The 2nd scare-mongering communication from TLERA was circulated, with an attached form (posted earlier on this forum), suggesting that the residents should let the F's solicitors do their talking and they should just tick a few boxes and sign the form, the F*'s solicitor would then handle creating their objection for them AT NO CHARGE TO THEM.

I say scaremongering because the letter claimed that we were trying to change EVERYONE's restrictive covenants (incorrect!) and also that if they objected on their own they could incur legal costs. (Valerie directly and verbally confirmed this to 2 neighbours who are supporters of the nursery who went to talk to her, complaining that they had mysteriously been missed out of TLERA's 2nd communication - almost certainly because they were supporters of the Nursery)

The TLERA form tickboxes were then converted into pre-created paragraphs (some dubious assumptions were made converting simple tickboxed sentences into fullblown and elaborate objections) which the solicitor TGBaynes duly delivered back to us - 29 objections from neighbours all on identical forms all containing paragraphs triggered by the nieghbours' tickboxes and, occasionally, an extra para from the neighbour complaining of, often,the usual invented issues of e.g. litter, or people smoking in public.
