courts have jailed Mick and Ron Wyatt.

But really what is more unbelievable is the way that the county council has gone after them. At the time that the services were being built, incidentally just on the opposite side of the road to the golf club, why did the council not intervene then, when they knew the landfill was being used to landscape the new golf club?

Why did the council not inform the Wyatts then that planning permission was necessary? In fact, it told them that planning was not needed.

This golf course is a beautifully landscaped establishment and a credit to the Wyatts’ and their workers’ hard work over the years. Despite their problems with this council they have done a good job.

In all the years that this feud has been going on, there has not been one letter to yourselves in support of the council, which in itself speaks volumes. Of course the letters from the councillor concerned when people have expressed their support for the Wyatts cannot be included.

It needs to be said that it is a disgrace that Mick and Ron have been jailed for contempt of court – they are not criminals, they are honourable men.
