SIR – Re your report about the complaint made about Coco the cockerel crowing (Worcester News, August 21).

In 1950 I was a young policeman in Kidderminster and had to deal with a complaint of a cockerel crowing. I visited the owner, an elderly lady, who asked what she could do.

I told her to lower the height of the pen so that it could not lift its head.

This stopped the complaints. In 60 years nothing changes.
