Sir.-Having read about Cllr Phil Heath being forced to resign from the county council Cabinet, I was compelled to wonder exactly what his principles are.
He obviously believes very strongly that housing estates should not be built on farmland, yet he still chooses to live on Hatch Warren.
It was not all that long ago that the residents of Brighton Hill were able to look out on to Hatch Warren Farm but, with demand for housing, they were forced to give up this bit of countryside.
So, is it not a bit hypocritical and contradicting that a man should make such an assertion about his principles and saving Manydown Farm while he lives on an estate which was built over another farm?
