Attenborough letter delights Carlisle campaign group
A personal reply from Sir David Attenborough has heartened a group of environmental campaigners in Carlisle.
The "Save Deer Park Field" group is opposing plans to build up to 80 homes on an area of land near the Kingmoor Sidings Nature Reserve.
The group says the area is popular with nature enthusiasts, but Carlisle City Council planning officers have recommended approval at a meeting tomorrow.
Pat Duncan from the campaign said Sir David said he understood their concern but as he knew nothing about the site itself, they should contact the Cumbria Wildlife Trust.

Quote Message: That this great man took the time and the effort to hand-pen a letter with some advice, meant a lot not just me but too all the people who are in the Deer Park Field Group." from Pat Duncan
