SIR – With the 25,500 houses this Government is proposing to build in Worcestershire, the only way to stop this is to have a referendum.

This has been denied us by the Labour Government, despite being promised by Blair and Brown. So, as neither have kept their word, the only option we have is to make sure Labour do not gain power again. The Conservatives and the Liberals are not much better as they too would give away our country without a fight.

The better option is to vote for an anti-European Union party. There are several, but I prefer UKIP, who gained a seat in the last election. Just give us our freedom which has been fought for by millions over the years. A great many have died for the cause.
