There is a fundamental question here about the role of the TLERA: is it to constrain the estate to being a unwelcoming, dull and silent museum, where children and their activities are frowned upon, or to promote a truly great place to live and work for everyone, including families.

If it's the former, then I certainly wouldn't have become a member, and it's a greater threat to our house prices than any nursery.

I particularly regret that a high quality (as measured by Ofsted) and much needed business is being forced out by this selfish action. Life is difficult enough without the Daily Mail brigade squeezing the life out of the place.
