The letter is reproduced in full:

I see that MP John Mann has, yet again, been trying to mislead local residents over planning issues.

As both a local resident and planning professional, I get very irritated when straightforward processes are twisted for what I assume are political ends.

Maybe it’s an attempt to cover up the fact that he has no ideas of  his own about how he thinks his Government’s housing targets (that’s right – they’re imposed on local councils from above) should be met.

I’ve read the same documents he talks about, and they don’t show major development in the villages or propose this Kilton development he keeps banging on about.

So let’s keep things in perspective, shall we, and stop this underhand campaign of disinformation.

Just what we’ve been saying all along!
