I am writing this letter to assure my friends that the letter published last week from John Harris, Cinderford was not John Harris former Mayor of Cinderford and that I am not a hypocrite and an avid supporter of the Co-operative movement.

The Co-op did nothing wrong in pointing out the incompetence of our local planning officers who have cost Foresters a great deal of money in court costs  and are still in their jobs.

– John Harris, Cinderford.
