I AM responding to the letter in which Councillor John Robertsrequests that my group of walkers and joggers withdraw our petitionover parking limitation in Thorndon Park (Gazette, May 11).
Our primary concern has been addressed with the cessation ofrailway sleepers being placed along the access road. However, we donot consider that this is reason enough to withdraw our petition.
We have received assurances from experts in the ranger serviceand wildlife trust that no ecological damage would occur tosensitive areas from the implementation of their plans.
Regarding the councillor's inference regarding self-interest byour group, I should remind him that we were prime movers in opposingthe Go-Ape project, with nearly 100 members voicing our oppositionat the public meeting in 2006.
David Bland MBE, Warley Mount, Brentwood
