HAMPSHIRE councillor Melville Kendal’s letter (Wednesday) is a masterpiece of obfuscation.
All he has to do to alleviate public fears over Purple Haze is to write one simple letter for publication thus: “Hampshire County Council has no plans now or in the foreseeable future to extract or allow the extraction of gravel from the Purple Haze site near Verwood or to use the same area as a land fill site.”
We citizens of Verwood can then put away our AK47s, petrol bombs and barricades and return to enjoying our countryside without fear.
JOHN JENKINS, Belmont Close, Verwood
