Hi,
I'd appreciate some advice on where I stand here!
I recently wrote to our local council. A planning application was going through for our neighbours, and while I had no objection to it in principal, I wanted to know what the situation was as it appeared that work had already started, even though the application hadn't been passed.
I also questioned why our address wasn't on the list of neighbours to be contacted and what the situation was regarding putting skips on the street (to put it into context a bit, I'm not usually so interfering, but I fired off this e-mail to the council after driving around for 1/2 an hour trying to get parked as the street was full of skips!)
They've now put my e-mail on their website as a 'neighbour's comment', with my address on it, and name blacked out and have also put both my name and address in the neighbours section (happy to have the address there, along with all the other neighbours, but I don't want my name attached to it).
Can I get them to remove the letter and my name? The letter wasn't to comment on the planning application itself (which they say on their website that they can put on if they receive them) and they haven't aswered 2 out of the 3 questions that I asked them anyway(yes, they are allowed to put skips on the street, but I'm still none the wiser why the work started before the application was passed, nor why our address wasn't on the list of neighbours). I'm annoyed, and also a bit embarrassed that I fired off this letter in the heat of the moment, only to find it, and my name and address on their website!
B
