Sir – Following the withdrawal of the county council’s defective minerals strategy, perhaps the council could explain why it pressed ahead when it was warned of these legal defects over a year ago at its own public meetings.
The council’s solicitor should reveal whether he considered these public warnings and whether he cautioned the council to think again. It seems to be a case of negligence or obduracy here.
What a waste of everyone’s time and money!
Henry Pavlovich, Cholsey
