It was heart-warming to read in last week’s Packet in relation to the proposal to raise car park charges in Falmouth that Councillor Rowenna Brock stated that, “Cornwall Council has chosen to ignore the views of the local people who know this town the best”.

What a pity she did not apply the same principles when voting to support the proposed housing development on a green field site at Swanpool. 

If she cares to look at the objections on the planning website she will see the huge amount of anger from local residents at this proposal. Apparently “local people who know this town the best” are only listened to on certain matters. We deserve better.
