YOUR correspondents who mistakenly believe I am against the successful efforts of Poole Town Football Club at present operating on part of the Oakdale South Road School Playing Fields, may wish to understand that beyond his enjoyment of the wonderful team, I have to live with the additional traffic and parking because the school (one of two in the immediate locality) is expanding as well and creating an additional entrance in Well Lane, after years when we had been continually assured that only the Borough of Poole and Wessex Water have access keys to the gate.

Living here and having large articulated lorries finding that they cannot go over Sterte Bridge, are using Well Lane to do reverse turns.

Now additional vehicles take waste away from the football ground and parents of children park indiscriminately to drop off and pick up mollycoddled children.

My concern is that each year the FA puts in conditions and gradually a stadia is growing on a school pitch.

The FC do not own the land, but I see the school squeezed out of their own space. This is a quart in a pint bottle, and I am being targeted as alarmist. Sorry but my family has lived here since 1951, and we also have parking for the Poole Pirates Speedway.

Surely a little consideration is to be expected. So much for “localism”, as no local councillor seems to care.
