REGARDING the mutilation of the shrubs at the rear of Mitchell Court on the Beaumont Estate, Leyton, we feel your story made light of the situation.

Residents in the bungalows have lost their privacy because of the way the shrubs had been cut. We did agree that the shrubs needed trimming but not to the extent that the council did this. We have, in the past, asked for a wooden fence, because we border on to a public footpath and also a car park. We are also adjacent to the Leyton Leisure Lagoon car park which is also used as a play area and we suffer from noise and also youths climbing into our garden to retrieve footballs.

MR & MRS F. LUNN,

Mitchell Court,

Leyton.
