The sign at Caton Green has always only had one post so that it can overlap the wall. If the one post was central, the sign would stick into the road. I live there and watched them being erected.

Just to let you know that the ‘response’ you received from Mr. Wallace is identical to the one I received a little while ago from my MP, Gerald Howarth

Why doesn’t that surprise me much?

In my case I initially spoke to a member of Mr Wallace’s staff on the phone. I wonder if I’d have got further if I’d maybe pushed harder to talk to him personally or gone to see him at a surgery.

I thought it strange that none of my points were directly addressed and on a whim Googled the first line of the email. It would appear that Conservative MPs are being given stock replies regarding the issue, which begs the question whether Mr. Howarth (or indeed, Mr. Wallace) got further than the words 'Digital Economy' before slapping off their stock reply. It's especially insulting the case of Mr. Howarth as he claimed that he couldn't get back to me immediately due to his responsibilities as President of the Air Display Association and that he would send a full answer in a few days after reading my letter in full. </p> Hi – Just to let you know that the ‘response’ you received from Mr. Wallace is identical to the one I received a little while ago from my MP, Gerald Howarth (the Conservative Shadow Defence Minister).
