ALTHOUGH I can understand why the residents of this estate would not want flats to go on this site as it would disturb traffic levels, what do they suggest is done here? (New fight to halt flats, Star August 19).

Quoting the local resident Donna Austin who relating to efforts to build on the site stated: "No matter what happens, we will fight tooth and nail". If they are all that concerned, why don't they all chip in and buy the land - or get themselves a private estate in Hertfordshire because it sounds like that's what they think they have.
