Letter: In Brief
Your support helps us to tell the story
This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.
The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.
Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. Your support makes all the difference.
Sir: The letter (February 22) from Lord Attenborough and others claiming that the Thames is threatened by the proposals on the Twickenham Baths site was published the day Richmond upon Thames Council's policy and resources committee unanimously rejected the scheme. The developers are considering whether they can alter their proposals in the light of public opposition, and one of the signatories to the letter has been co-opted to the panel looking at changes needed. Public opinion in Twickenham has not supported the scheme. That is why Richmond Council has rejected it.
DAVID WILLIAMS
Leader
