THE ex Budock Hospital site is full of mature trees and wonderful shrubs which have taken 50 plus years to grow. No doubt the new developments by Falmouth School and CC will do a very good job of removing all these wonderful things and once again denuding the countryside, as the Camborne bypass last year.

The site should have been used for house building and if the frontage had been kept, these houses would never have been seen.

Falmouth School has enough playing fields and should never have been given it with no money to pay for it. So much for interfering politicians.
