I AM writing with regard to last week's article about the Runnings Park development.

I have lived in West Malvern for 32 years and do not object to the current plans for a 15-home development on the Runnings Park site.

I do, however object to Dierdre Drake's comment that 'nobody in the village wants this except the owners and developers'.

This is obviously untrue and I for one do not need someone else to express my opinions, especially when done so incorrectly.

West Malvern has a wide variety of residents with, I'm sure, an array of differing views on this topic. I hope that in future we will all be allowed to speak for ourselves, whatever our opinion may be.
