I REFER to your article concerning yet more new homes in Davenham village.

I am sure that the vast majority of your readers were similarly astonished to read that our long-standing democratic processes are just being thrown to the wind by some government official who has been given the power to override everything we stand for.

Too many of our well-established freedoms are just being ignored by central government and like Davenham Parish councillors, I agree that it is time that we called time on politicians that think that they can ignore us. These same politicians have also just removed 800 years of the freedoms granted to us under Magna Carta, and have replaced them with the European Arrest Warrant where British citizens can be arrested and imprisoned in Europe, without charge, and with no recourse for protection under British law.

They have also dragged us into European dominance, and huge cost, when all we agreed to in 1975 was a Trade Association. Meanwhile Davenham is further threatened by yet another EU project (and huge cost again) of HS2 rampaging through our countryside. Well, it’s time to say no and the forthcoming EU referendum will be the time when we can hoof them all out.
