FIONA Mapleson has had two letters published attacking proposed development in South Stoneham.
In the second letter, she makes the customary complaint by protesters whose protests don’t carry the day: “the council/Cllr Bloggs/ department/government/police commissioner didn’t listen!” when what really happened is that the said person/body did listen but didn’t do what they wanted. So the outcome was: “We’ve listened to your protests, and the answer is still ‘no’.”
As an ordinary member of the public, I get sick and tired of self-appointed protesters banging on about things they know nothing about and just wasting everybody’s time.
