AFTER 20 years of trying, it looks like ICI have finally got their way concerning the Lostock triangle.

As if they haven't done enough damage in Vale Royal, Mr Martin Bell, our MP and a genuine and sincere man, calls the plans ridiculous.

I urge everyone who is concerned about the loss of our countryside to write to the landowners, ICI, asking them to change their policy of selling high quality farm land for development. Write to the chairman, Mr Charles Millar Smith, 9, Millbank, London, SW1P 3JF.
