Dear Sir,

I can remember the day when all building sites had a notice board informing the public what was been erected.

Going around Newton Aycliffe today there are many building sites but very few if any have a notice board informing the public what is being erected.

So what are they trying to hide? Are they erecting a building that the local people would object to? Are they breaking the planning rules? Will the buildings alter the local identity?

At the end of my street we have a bungalow site. Ideal for the elderly and the disabled but some of them have been knocked down, It now has a number of building sites. Are they changing it to something else?
