I AM writing in response to the letter published last week concerning the Eccleston resident who says just because you happen to live near open fields you should not oppose any further development of houses because at one time where you now live was once green belt land.


Perhaps we should start building on park land and stop all those people who have nice views of our large parks from enjoying them.


Regarding St Helens Council, I believe they will not be happy until we are connected to Liverpool via any green fields that separate us from here to Kirkby or Knowsley and our postcodes no longer begin with WA.... but the letter L.
