SIR - John Hinton talks about "professionals who advise our elected representatives" (Letters, July 5).

Is he referring to those who so spectacularly failed to provide any credible evidence to move Chrissies and who've fruitlessly spent the last two years scouring St John's for an available nine-hectare site for a new school? St John's is full of highly skilled, intelligent people who are well aware that even after six years, the only people that the county council listens to are from Tesco.

As for "Olympic size swimming pools" these were never and will never be part of the Tesco funded plans.
