I READ with delight Dave Stronacos' very funny letter (Your Letters, November 7) appealing for nature and wildlife to be allowed a look in on the hills. What a pity that it has to be left to an 'occasional visitor' to introduce some sense and sensitivity to the issue.

I have long been appalled by the apparent contempt for wildlife (plant and animal) shown by many Conservators and recent candidates for election to the board.

I felt it was my duty to vote for the best candidate in my area but in the end after talking to them I just could not bring myself to endorse any of them.
