SIR,

I would just like to let the people of Mitchel Troy know about the proposed plans to build eight dwellings directly behind Rocklea with access through Garthi Close.

I am sure I can speak on behalf of all residents of Rocklea and Garthi Close that we will be putting up a fight to stop this from going ahead. It came totally out of the blue.

Monmouthshire Housing Association has done this very secretively and underhandedly and have given no thought to our feelings whatsoever.

Most of us who have lived here for the best part of our lives.

How dare they disturb our tranquil farmland which has been farmed by three generations over 70 years.

Jen Prothero
