IT seems to me the solution to the problem on page 1 of the Malvern Gazette (June 28, "Skatepark may face legal action") can be found on page 17 ("Calm words can prevail where tough action fails").

Speaking as a tax payer, I would prefer my hard-earned money to be spent on a couple of mediators than to give £50,000 away as legal costs.
