I WRITE regarding the threat of building on land at Spen Moor and I just wonder if the developers have realised the additional potential offered by Elton Reservoir.
If they filled it in there would be room for hundreds more houses, perhaps even a shopping mall or two! They could just leave the odd puddle for the wildlife and everyone would be happy.
After all, there is not very much open land left so how else will the poor developers earn a crust in future? Just a thought . . .
