I READ the letter from 'Disgusted Eccleston' with some disbelief. How can anyone make such flippant remarks about such a serious issue as the proposed siting of a McDonalds Restaraunt on Rainford Road, Windle?

The correspondent adds nothing positive to the hard work of the action group who are working so hard to show that the siting of this particular McDonalds would be entirely inappropriate for a number of very good reasons.

Clearly the writer of the letter has no idea of planning application procedure, the very valid reasons why the application should be refused and how to put forward a convincing argument that might actually do some good.
