Sir – It is not the whole city council (as reported in your article City Council objects to town green application, April 23) who oppose Sendra’s proposal to gain town green status for Oxpens Meadow.

It is the Labour group, now running the council as a minority administration. Labour councillors have always backed proposals for development here.

Green councillors fully support Sendra’s town green proposal and were not consulted when the council made its decision to oppose Sendra’s plans.

Historically we have worked with local residents to keep this vital open space development-free.
