Richard Grant of Burley has written many letters recently.

However I cannot agree with his comments describing Bournemouth’s pier theatre as a 'shed on legs' and his comments for a low-budget hotel on the Waterfront site Can I suggest he puts his efforts into campaigning to secure traffic safety measures on the top road from Picket Post into Burley where selfish speeding drivers, too often travelling at well over 50mph, put lives at risk as well as those of the forest ponies.

Alternatively stand for your local authority where your energy could be better used.
