Caroline Egerton, chairman of the Latchmere Junior School governors, mentions in her letter to your August 7 issue that she received not one letter of opposition to the proposals for the expansion of Latchmere Junior Schools.
She may not have done, but Kingston Council certainly did, including one from our organisation, which uses Dinton Field every Saturday during the football season.
The crucial issue in any proposal for expansion is surely the identification of a suitable site, and Ms Egerton's suggestion that this should have been treated as an entirely separate matter, to be considered by the council at a later stage seems most impractical.
I would like to thank the Liberal Democrat and Labour councillors who voted down this proposal to restrict even further the already limited recreational facilities for children in North Kingston.
