Madam, Although it is sad that The Chestnuts is to close, I do seem confused reading the letters of concern. I wonder how many people making the complaints voted Tory at the last election. Of course these things are going to happen and it is only the start. Don't say you were not warned.

As for our MP Jessie Norman fighting for months in support, I must ask: "did he not know of the cuts by his government?"

At election time I had posters in my car warning people what would happen if the Tories got back into power and a reminder what happened under Thacher.

I do wish The Chestnuts all the best and if I can help with fundraising please get in touch.
