I WOULD like through your newspaper to express my thanks to the Save Mankley Field Action Group, too many individuals and families to mention by name.

These people have worked tirelessly to try and stop King’s Stanley and Leonard Stanley becoming another Kingsway Gloucester.

Will the passage of time show that Eric Pickles, also appointed by the current Conservative Government, who has been very keen to approve ridiculous construction projects in the area, also hasve a more than vested interest in construction?

There must be a reason for wishing to spoil the environment we live in.

I thank the Mankley Field group for their efforts, they can hold their heads up high and be proud of their principles.
