SIR - Bill Davison must be nave if he imagines the Christopher Whitehead saga is of "no concern", to any local taxpayer living outside the parish of St John's (Letters, March 10). It is very much our concern and has already cost every one of us dearly. He and his pressure group are entitled to express their views and were allowed every opportunity to do so by the elected education authority. There never has been any secrecy in the fact that I am related to the headteacher nor has there been any requirement to disclose it.

JOHN HINTON,

Worcester.
