AS residents of Bishampton, we wish to dissociate ourselves entirely from the remarks made in the Evening News (March 31) by Wychavon councillor Malcolm Argyle.
The majority of this village just felt great sorry at the loss to Robert Smith and his family and the anguish endured by neighbouring farmers that they too might lose everything they had worked for all their lives.
The point is these poor animals have to be buried or burned somewhere. We prefer to have some days of that rather than the plan to build a sprawling housing development that will make Bishampton, Throckmorton, Tilesford and Pinvin - all communities in the own right - into a very large suburb of Pershore.
A few weeks of "inconvenience" during this dreadful time for all keepers of livestock is in our opinion a small price to pay.
