Thank you for Bill Montgomery's informative article on the demise of council homes in his Notebook of November 8 (see also: 'We need more than woolly assurances', Times Letters, November 15).

As chairman of FACT (Flightways service users Action CommitTee), I would like to question an assertion made in Montgomery's article by Councillor Phil Yeoman who said, "as many users of the centre live on the estate, they should have seen the plans during the general consultation about Grahame Park."

To my knowledge there are four of our members who live on the estate out of a total of around 80. Not a figure that many people would think warrants the use of the word 'many.'
