SIR - As one of the 6,708 people assumed to have voted to support the idea of creating a city centre park, I must confess to having stupidly voted' for the scheme.

I telephoned a number printed in the T&A, intending to state that I opposed the plan, but I was given no chance to speak.

A voice thanked me for my support' and the call was terminated.

So the supporters really total 6,707 unless other people were as foolish as I was in assuming that democracy was available.
