SIR - With regard to your article concerning "Foxes halt building programme" (Worcester News, December 18), has councillor Mike Leyland lost all his marbles?

It beggars belief that a councillor for many a year does not know what goes on in the real world. Foxes are a class A agricultural pest. Foxes do not breed now, not until April.

This decision to hold up vital housing for a pest is a disgrace.

More tax payers money wasted. He should be made to foot the bill.

CJ SALISBURY, Worcester.
